Summary

Democrats are ramping up opposition to Trump and Musk’s brazen assault on the federal government, which critics see as a constitutional crisis.

Protests erupted after Musk’s DOGE accessed taxpayer data, prompting Democratic lawmakers to pledge stronger resistance.

Senate Democrats staged an all-night protest against budget chief Russell Vought, while some senators vowed to block Trump’s nominees. Hakeem Jeffries introduced legislation to curb DOGE, as activists push for McConnell-style obstruction.

Nationwide protests and lawsuits signal a revived anti-Trump resistance.

Growing grassroots engagement and local officials taking steps to counter Trump’s agenda reflect intensifying opposition.
