Opposition to Trump

Some Senators are coming out against the Trump administration.  The most recent is Rand Paul; he said that no one wants to live under martial law.  It's a bit late to complain about that, but better late than never. 

Senator Elizabeth Warren has expressed opposition to many actions by DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency), for essentially dismantling the most useful departments: social security, Medicaid, education, postal service, veterans affairs, disease control, FDA, etc.

Bernie Sanders has joined forces with AOC (Alexandria O. Cortes) to tour the South and the West, pointing out the irresponsible actions of the administration in every direction. 

Both senators for Virginia: Tim Kaine and Mark Warner, have given lengthy critiques of the Trump administration.

New Jersey senator Cory Booker made a detailed, 25-hour-long speech condemning the actions of the administration, and the president. 

The senator for Connecticut, Chris Murphy, has been particularly outspoken in his anger at Trump and his actions.  Mark Kelly, senator for Arizona, has spoken expressing opposition to Trump.  So have Amy Klobuchar (Minnesota) and others.

Clearly, discontent with the president is mounting among the senators in both parties. 

I doubt that congressional disapproval will persuade the president to change course.  If the armed forces leadership were to indicate strong disapproval of Trump, he may consider reversing his erratic course.  Imposing austerity on the sector of the population with the least resources is not appropriate for any administration. 

Now you know the extent to which Congress sides with the Pres.
