2/ For those who say “courts can’t stop him”… re-read my first post: Each time they throw a roadblock up, it slows his momentum, it weakens him, it strengthens us, emboldens us, creates room for more blowback. He’s not invulnerable. Each court ruling against him proves that. TAKE ADVANTAGE of that.

I watched AOC's Insta stories yesterday. She said phone calls are making a difference. She has acquaintances across the aisle who are noticing the outrage.

And that people need to up their phone calls, b/c conservatives are much better at it and in much bigger numbers.

The pressure is working.

Heard on a podcast this week, I believe it was Dahlia Lithwick's: Yes the courts will be very important & esp it's critical that many, many lawsuits be brought bc even if the SCOTUS is in Trump's/oligarchs' pockets, they can't & won't take every case that comes through the appeals process. They'll take a few. But if there's a flood, it means Federal courts will be able to stop a lot of the malicious shenanigans, and SCOTUS won't end up involved in the majority of cases.

@GottaLaff @Nonya_Bidniss appreciate you keeping us apprised of the news. I'm going to step back and chill before bed!
@pg1958 Good idea! I hope you sleep well. @Nonya_Bidniss
