This is what you and our Democrtic representatives in government can do:
Block EVERYTHING, procedurally or otherwise, in the government. No Debt ceiling raise, no Budget, no judges, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Trump is punishing the poor, blue states and Democrats regardless. Time to burn it all down.
Do not pass a single penny out of Congress. At least this way, ICE agents and Trumps conscripted posse of bounty hunters will see no pay day. How long will they round up people for deportation without pay?
Trump will wreck the economy anyway with tariffs and every day acts and threats of stopping the flow of federal funding. May as well take away his power to enforce anything.
Starve out the MIC. No renewal of any Tax policy. Let the Trump Tax cuts expire.
Give no concessions; Give no reasons for blocking everything. Just shut it all the fuck down. Now.
Do whatever you can, even at the state level to block anything Trumpublicans want.
Call your Democratic reps and insist they take this course of action.

Pretending we can get by with business as usual would be our nation's downfall.
