2. All the warnings from all the astute political analysts, bloggers, pundits, and content experts are needed...

The public needs this drilled into them.

But, for those of us who are following closely (and have for some time), to do so with not a word of how we can fight it (except for the expected "people power" admonishments--which many of us are already doing), is stress-inducing to me. Yes, Senators Bennett, Hickenlooper, and Representative Negeuse and Crowe hear from me constantly (as do several other Colorado Reps) but how is that countering what DOGE is doing and has already done to dismantle democracy? By the time anyone in Congress "gets to it" will probably be after the 2026 election.

So, yes, I scream. Yes, I am fully aware and informed. And yes, that only keeps me feeling hand-tied, anxious, and angry!
