Donald Trump and Elon Musk are staging a coup, trying to illegally eliminate agencies, seize control of payment systems, and gain access to sensitive data on all Americans without any oversight. As long as they are ignoring the Constitution and trying to unsurp the powers of Congress, NO Democrat should be cooperating with any part of Trump's agenda. And yet 22 Senate Democrats voted on February 4th to confirm Doug Collins—one of Trump's loyalists—as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. This is not resistance. This is complicity.

EXPLAINER: How Senate Democrats Can Delay & Defy Trump's Agenda with Procedural Hardball

The rules of the Senate are designed to protect the rights of the minority, and Democrats have tools at their disposal to grind Senate business to a halt if Republicans try to ram through Trump’s extremist agenda. The three biggest weapons? Blanket opposition, quorum calls, and blocking unanimous consent—parliamentary guerrilla tactics that can slow, stall, and obstruct at every turn. Here’s how they work and why Democrats need to use them aggressively.
