As Trump aims to dismantle large swaths of US government, growing outcry from Democrats appears to be having an effect

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.
