“Indivisible is urging people who are scared to call their member of Congress, whether they have a Democrat or Republican, and make specific procedural asks,” Greenberg said.

    Dems are always “pissed” but they need to convert this into action. I’m sick of the endless congressional hearings. DO SOMETHING

      Congressional subpoenas are traditionally a good way to force the DOJ or some state agency to acknowledge a particular kind of misconduct is occurring. But the power afforded to the executive branch has so outstripped that of Congress (by design, as handing authority off to the President lets him be the scapegoat while Congresscritters get to complain) for so long that there really isn’t a ton a minority party can do except shut down further legislation.

        Sure, except the ineffectiveness of the Democrats has LED to them being a minority party. Unless they either shape up OR the Republicans totally fuck things into the ground, I don’t see them returning to power.
