They’re afraid of Trump’s supporters coming after them. They were afraid after Jan. 6 too.

The only way they'll find the motivation and courage to do what's right is if they become equally afraid of the left.

Exactly

No. They don't have to fear the left. They have to obey the Constitution and do their dang job.

It is clear there is no constitution any more.

The major parties seem to prioritize their own interests and staying/regaining power before anything else.

But power over what??
They HAVE the power over the executive branch. The executive branch executes the legislation that the legislative branch passes and funds.

Why when Biden was president and had democrats running the house and senate for the first two years he still ran into so many roadblocks. Yet now Trump is president and has control of senate and house and is getting no road blocks???? What is the difference?

Biden respected the rule of law and Congress wasn’t sitting on the sidelines shrugging its shoulders and SCOTUS was more concerned about the Constitution.

The difference is Democrats follow the law. Trump administration doesn't.

Again - what is Congress doing?!?

Trump is promising billions of dollars to replicate international organizations (board of peace for UN, the WHO thing).

Trump is spending massive amounts of money repainting planes, destroying and rebuilding national monuments.

Trump and his family are siphoning of billions from Venezuela, shenanigans with crypto.

It’s clear that the cabinet is deeply compromised in the Epstein scandal.

The economy is tanking; allies and trade partners are dropping the U.S. as fast as they can.

Trump is planning to attack Iran or maybe Turkey.

And SILENCE FROM THE CONGRESS?!?

Is Congress on vacation again?

Congress (read Republicans) ceded all power and authority to the Executive Branch.

It's not about the power to legislate. They don't care about that. It's about the power to maintain the status quo from which they benefit—to traffic women, diddle children, take bribes and profit off of their office, selling government contracts to their buddies, etc. Our "government" is a farce.

Deafening silence from the Article 1 branch of government. Are they in session? Or still on vacation?

Why are we paying them?

Then why is there not wall-to-wall media of these democrats loudly and articulately calling out Trump? Calling for hearings? Calling for accountability? Some pathetic little statement is not going to cut it.

Chuck Schumer in particular probably got hard for the first time in a while since seeing the first Palestinian babies being slaughtered in a genocide.
