DOGE vs Everybody

<p><strong>The House is on FIRE! Democrats React to COUP feat. Congressman Frost.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum address the Trump/Musk power grab, which has swiftly become a constitutional crisis.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Joined by Representative Maxwell Frost (Florida-10), the hosts have some tough questions about what Democrats are doing to limit Trump and Musk&rsquo;s overreach. Why did they let a plain clothed, skinny white man keep them out of the Department of Education?? Congressman Frost, a former activist and first Gen Z congressional representative, thinks he knows EXACTLY what Democrats must do.&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Why is this a constitutional crisis? Well, in defiance of the congressional &ldquo;power of the purse,&rdquo; Elon Musk&rsquo;s DOGE continues to consolidate power, and in defiance of court orders from the judiciary, Trump&rsquo;s executive orders (like the federal funding freeze) are in full swing and having real world impact. The executive branch is staging a coup, usurping power from Congress and the courts, and threatening the balance of power that has maintained U.S. democracy for 250 years. Let&rsquo;s talk about it! </strong><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>NYT Article on the Fourth Constitutional Rupture: </strong><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/opinion/trump-caesar-constitutional-rupture.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare"><strong>https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/10/opinion/trump-caesar-constitutional-rupture.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&amp;referringSource=articleShare</strong></a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>To reach your senator or congressman, dial 202-224-3121 and ask the Capital Switchboard Operator to forward your call to the appropriate office.&nbsp;</strong></p> <p><br /><br /></p> <p><strong>And of course we&rsquo;ll hear from you!
