"Gum Up the Works": David Sirota's Advice to Democrats on Reversing Trump's Power Grab

We discuss the first month of President Donald Trump's second term in office - and the response from the Democratic Party - with journalist David Sirota, founder and editor-in-chief of The Lever. He notes that despite Republicans holding all three branches of the federal government, Trump has mainly used executive orders and other decrees to impose his will instead of using legislation. They're trying to create a precedent that presidents cannot be constrained at all," he says of the party's strategy. He also faults Democrats for failing to effectively oppose the administration. What is the Democratic Party for? What does it support? What does it advocate for? There's not really much of an answer right now."
