Robert Reich's 10 Crucial Things You Can Do in 2026

https://robertreich.substack.com/p/what-you-can-do-in-2026

My personal favorite items on the list are #3 and #4 "3. Demand that your Democratic and Independent senators block Trump nominations, require quorum calls, object to unanimous consent, and keep the public aware of the terrible things Trump and his regime are doing. Urge your Democratic and Independent House members to be loud and vocal, to cause good trouble, and to vote against all Republican initiatives." and "4. In November’s midterms, help Democrats and Independents take back control of Congress. ". For #4 I would add a caveat that you shouldn't fall for the third party trap if there's a strong Democrat running because that would split the vote. Vote blue no matter who, they are for sure way better than the Republican running.

Since I live in California, and my Senators and Representatives are all Democrats, they already know these measures. I am very lucky!

Based on character (the lack thereof) and love of abusing the powerless, odds are pretty high.

AND Democratic senators did everything possible (and a few impossible things) to block replacements.

What would the court look like?
