Democratic activists get more active

 

Common Dreams -  A week into Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's second term in the White House, high-profile advocates with close ties to the Democratic Party expressed frustration at congressional Democrats' response to the slew of unconstitutional, xenophobic, and bigoted executive actions already unleashed by Trump.

"Democrats in Congress: WHAT IS THE PLAN?" Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, demanded to know on Monday. Watts cited Trump's purge of at least 12 inspectors general at federal agencies on Friday—an action that was met with outrage from Democratic lawmakers including Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), but little in the way of specific action from party leaders.
