Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

They need to be writing laws to shore up the Constitution, to protect our Democracy, and enforcement as in prison time for violating our Constitution by politicians. Not that they can get them through Congress now, but they need to hit the ground running when they get the government back.

Trump: "I didn't take my salary, first president since Washington maybe to not. I don't need acknowledgement of this, it's just a nice thing to do" Trump: "Give me $230m" (which is like 500 years of salary)

Seems to me #dtrump has profited greatly in all sorts of financial ways, including his businesses and his children's businesses since he took office 9 months ago.

#AbsoFuckingLutely Doesn't the world remember that #dtrump 's stated goal just a few months ago was to rebuild Gaza as the Middle-East Rivera? Of course he plans to increase his personal wealth exponentially with this development.

In the current environment, where Trump simply ignores laws and appropriations he doesn't like, we mostly need it so that GOP elected are forced to go on the record approving of the corruption. It's a political opportunity to force Republicans to take a stand on it, on the record.

There is absolutely no drawback to making the next news cycle, the next election, the rest of his term about THIS. This is a gift. Mike Johnson arguing to hand Trump 230 million taxpayer dollars is electoral gold for Congressional Dems. Fire anyone blind to that.

I dreamt last night that the 7m ‘No King’ protesters all went to DC, stormed the WH through a fuckin huge hole in the East wall, dragged Trump & his cabinet out into Pennsylvania Ave, & hung the fuckers from every lamppost. Best wet dream I’ve had in ages. Sorry, not sure what came over me there.

FFS. Democrats can draw any legislation they want. You know it’ll never get introduced. Never out of committee and never get a vote. Stop demanding bullshit performance from democrats and DO SOMETHING your fucking self

Legislation isn't the answer. Historic Preservation organizations and members of Congress have standing to sue for an injunction to stop demolition as a violation of federal law. The project requires approval from the Capital Planning Commission, and appropriations from Congress.Where are you #DNC?

Yes they should. But they don’t fight. The get steamrolled over and over by Republicans. Never has the party more desperately need new leadership. Schumer and Jeffries must go. There are several fighters in the party who know how to deal with the GOP.

Have you had enough of #MikeJohnson #StephenMiller #PamBondi #PeteHegseth #RFKJr #SCOTUS #Billionaires #DemParalysis #LiesLiarsGriftersCheaters #DonTheConRICOPEDOPig and all the rest that have hijacked US into a death spiral? How about #RISEUP #TNU #TCND #NoKings youtu.be/WVQ9JjFRuGU?...

It's blatantly illegal, and the symbolism is just awful. He's trying to give himself a direct payment of 230 million tax payer dollars, while tearing down the actual white houses, and millions of Americans are about to starve and lose healthcare. Impeach. Convict. And removal from office. #NoKings

Saw an article explaining this. The orange turnip wants to be reimbursed for his legal expenses for defending himself. I assume this will go through because who is going to stop him? I bet him have to pay him a usurious tax rate on top too. Ugh, I hate this timeline.

Can he make up any bogus claim and ask any department to bring him large containers of unmarked bills? On the other hand, can the victims of his stupid revenge lawsuits get reimbursed the money owed them? I can't stand that man.

Dems need to start doing a lot more. The fact that after being CONVICTED for 34 felonies, adjudicated as a rapist and sexual predator and to top it off systemic massive fraud, he now wants $230 million for pain and suffering on Trials he cancelled. Their lack of logic is mind numbing.

The primary thing you Americans need to do is DEMOLISH AIPAC, the Zionist lobby that fills the pockets of your politicians, both Democrats and Republicans, with millions. If you don’t free yourselves from the genocidal Zionist entity, the USA will always be Israel’s Golem.

Oh, if only we could get Dems to do this kind of thing. The march turn out should tell Dems they have massive support to fight Trump. This is the perfect way to create media attention, but Dems still refuse to fight in the way they need to.

Yeah They should be doing LOTS OF THINGS It’s why I re registered To the @workingfamilies.org Party I’m OUT

FUCKING MAKE HIM Calling 4 MAGA Mike 2 ‘Just stop’ Is the kind of weak ass Dem Leadership bullshit THAT DOES NOTHING & which helped create This evil fascist state In the 1st place MEET THE GODDAMN MOMENT ‘Just stop’ cosplaying As content creators Who throw words out W/o any juice Behind them

Sure seems like a lot of stuff Democrats should be doing that they are not. I will always vote straight Dem for the rest of my life on this earth, but they're response to this crisis has been abysmal, bordering on laughably incompetent.

When you’re still diligently giving advice & working at your job as usual, but the entire world is on fire bsky.app/profile/greg...

I appreciate your point that it's of the utmost importance that this issue be the top discussion point in Washington, pretty much until Trump is removed from power. It's that important. But because it's that important, why the end around through legislation instead of being on camera right now?

"This is completely illegal, as are all the $'s he's spending on his pet projects right now. This is what Kings do. If this is allowed to stand, we have no constitutional order. Legislation means nothing. The Constitution itself means nothing."

"This is the death blow to our Republic. If this moves forward, I will be returning to my State to put an end to all taxes paid to the Treasury until constitutional order is returned." It's this serious! It needs to be said repeatedly and clearly. Procedural games aren't going to cut it!

The media never pays attention unless Democrats do something dramatic. Like when Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to push for due process. Democrats need to stack a pile of $1 bills on the National Mall just to show what Trump’s been stealing.

Also, can we sue him the way he sues everybody else? Sue for destruction of the White House, sue for dismantling agencies he is legally not allowed to, sue him for using executive orders. Sue him for staining all the linens in the White House orange anything & everything like he does everyone else.

They don't need new legislation. It's already illegal. EVERYTHING he does is illegal, from his tariffs to invading US cities to pushing the DOJ into political prosecutions. Dems should be writing up new articles of impeachment on a daily basis for Hair Twitler.
