Hello from Ottawa. You know, a lot of us Canadians (Boomers and Millennials) looked up to the USA. But now . . . And probably, it's like that across the world. So Sad.
How can the Dems use their power in Congress when the repubs are in the majority & perfectly fine with what's going on? It seems to me that it's actually up to them to make some kind of move in the Dem's direction for anything to be done. But that's never going to happen. I'm not saying the Dems are perfect, and yes, more planning for this would have been smart on their part. I agree with you. But it's been crickets on the repub side thru all this. Musk & the Dems are being vilified, but what about the repub house & senate? No blame is being heaped on them. No blame is being laid on Vance & he's supposedly VP. Harris was criticized for being a silent VP, even tho most are. It's like Vance doesn't even exist. Where is the blame on that side of the aisle? They are all guilty & should all be impeached.
The Repugs are not going to stop anything. Fucking Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski wring their hands and fret and then fall right in line--that's all the "pushback" you'll see from Repugs.
I don't know what the Dems in Congress can "officiallly" do.
Of course if fucking Nancy Pelosi, from her hospital bed in Europe, hadn't sunk AOC's chances for a minority leadership role on a key committee (instead making sure an old white guys fighting cancer whose "turn" it was got the role) then AOC might have some authority to do SOMETHING.
What do you think it will take for our elected politicians to step up and stop this?!

This is a coup!
