minus-squareCryophilia@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down5·2 days agoNo, they have the power to STOP a SMALL number of things, specifically bills in the legislature. Most of what Trump is doing is completely bypassing Congress.
minus-squareBadmanDan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days agoDems can only stop non budgetary bills by invoking the filibuster. Any reconciliation bill is going through regardless of what Dems want. Trump has only done a bunch of illegal EOs. Which are being taken up in the courts, but he dosen’t care and is doing them anyways.
