Democrats getting tougher

 The Contrarian -   While some Democratic senators continue to vote to confirm utterly unfit nominees, the pro-democracy response has improved markedly in recent days. Most importantly, well-targeted lawsuits have at least temporarily halted Trump’s efforts to unilaterally erase birthright citizenship from the Constitution and usurp Congress’s power of the purse by freezing federal funding. Other suits have been filed to prevent Elon Musk and his band of cyber-whizzes from sucking up highly sensitive information from the Treasury Department; reverse Trump’s Schedule F decree; undo anti-trans edicts; halt collection of names of every FBI employee to work on any Jan. 6-related cases; and stymie the firing of career federal employees in contravention of the law. Actions to reverse purges of inspectors general, career FBI agents, and employees deemed to have worked on “DEI” programs are gearing up.
