Democrats have gone to the mattress against Donald Trump. Not to protest his immigration crackdown, his intention to shut down the Department of Education, his tariffs or any of the other controversial policies the new president has proposed in the past two weeks. No, Democrats are fighting tooth and nail to protect the federal bureaucracy.
Just recently, Senate Democrats took the extreme measure of filibustering through the night to decry the nomination of Russell Vought, Trump’s nominee to head the White House budget office and, more broadly, the new administration’s efforts to cut wasteful government spending. Historically, Senate filibusters have supported civil rights legislation or opposed ObamaCare — you know, consequential issues. Vought, a fellow likely familiar to few Americans and a veteran of the prior Trump administration, must be flattered.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer declared “We’re going to be speaking all night. We want Americans, every hour, whether it’s 8 p.m. or 3 a.m., to hear how bad Russell Vought is.” In reality, probably not many Americans tuned into what even the Democrat-friendly New York Times called a “performative protest.” Republicans only need a majority to confirm nominees; they have that.
What exactly are Democratics so wound up about? They are incensed that Elon Musk and his DOGE posse are turning over the rocks and exposing corruption and waste in the federal government. Progressives like Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) are screeching that Americans did not elect Musk president, while others portray the world’s richest man as a grifter hoping to line his own pockets. Seriously.
