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. Here’s how they work and why Senate Democrats need to use them aggressively.
Donald Trump isn’t governing—he’s launching a coup against the American people. In an illegal and devastating move, he has frozen billions in federal funding for programs that keep kids fed, families housed, and students educated. This isn’t just a policy memo—it’s a direct assault on the Constitution and the lives of millions of Americans. Let’s be clear: Trump’s latest move is illegal, dictatorial, and Americans will die as a result.
Make Republican silence on Trump’s executive order public. Use this letter to the editor tool to highlight their refusal to defend the Constitution and protect newborns.
Democratic lawmakers must lead the charge against Trump’s executive order. Ask them to make a strong public statement condemning this unconstitutional act and commit to fighting MAGA extremism.
