Summary

With Congress largely unwilling or unsure how to challenge Trump, federal judges and foreign leaders have emerged as key opponents to his policies.

Judges have blocked actions they deem unlawful, while world leaders have publicly corrected or rebuked Trump on trade and foreign policy.

Canadian, French, and British leaders have pushed back against his claims, signaling growing tensions.

Meanwhile, Democrats struggle to mount effective opposition but are beginning to focus on key issues, especially healthcare.

    Dear imperial news… Congress isn’t “sidelined”. They’re actively working together and getting paid as usual.

        not excusing the bullshit fecklessness of the average corporate democrat, but medicare, medicaid and social security have pretty broad support. its a component of the pushback.

        at the two most recent protests I have been to, signs about this get the most interest from passers-by. jus’ sayin’.

        I know, right? We are experiencing the fall of our democracy and they concluded they should talk about healthcare.

          We have been asking them to talk about healthcare for a long time but Jesus Christ, now is not the time to start. It’s like they’re trying to lose and it’s infuriating to watch.

    Good. A kid with a gun is still a kid, and needs to be treated like one.

      I feel like the actual problem is a system that gives guns to man babies who are far worse than kids.

    Good on those who are making a stand, but know that no one is coming to save us. We have only ourselves to blame.
