Really do not think anyone needs to emphasize the legal and process arguments here. No one cares. "Trump and the Republican Party have suspended funding for Meals and Wheels and preschools." Pretty straightforward.

I’m not a political pro, but I believe Democrats could use a more compelling message than “Jesus take the wheel”

A reminder ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration: No, having 34 felony convictions does not stop him from being president. But felony convictions DO prohibit 19 million people in the US from earning a living in more ordinary roles, like firefighting or pest control work.
