They don’t have the majority votes to challenge an executive order. They motioned for a 15-day vote against Trump’s emergency order, and the Republican majority redefined the entire congressional calendar as a single day to avoid checking the President’s power. I disagree with the 10 Senators that voted in favor of the CR, but that wouldn’t have actually stopped anything. POTUS determines what essential departments remain open in a government shutdown. DOGE would keep cutting, ICE would keep deporting, and POTUS would keep writing executive orders.
With that being said, I’m not in favor of more of the same. I simply think cleaning out and upgrading the Democratic Party is the better option with FPTP.
