Yep, we won't be coy... we're worried.
Not to put a damper on our fabulous victories last week — and with another Senate win in sight — we're watching the Trumpsters who are still in charge of our government, and we're wondering GOOD GOD ALMIGHTY HOW ARE WE GOING TO SURVIVE THIS FOR TWO MORE YEARS? (sorry for the shouting).
The new Congress will put an important check on the Trumpsters, for sure. Which is hugely important, because under the "leadership" of Mike Johnson and John Thune, the Article I branch of government has been AWOL since January 2025. The Founders must be spinning in their graves (but help is on the way).
Even with that backstop, though, how will we get past the fact that... well, let's turn this over to Democratic strategist Simon Rosenberg, who said it much better than we could:
"We are facing something akin to the collapse of the United States government itself.
"Do we think Stephen Miller, with his temperament and delusional extremism, can run this thing?
"Or that we can trust the ridiculous men around Trump (and it's all men, now) — Hegseth, Kennedy, Lutnick, Duffy, Mullin, Bessent, Miller, Blanche, Witkoff, Kushner — who have overseen one of the most consequential military and foreign policy disasters in our history, encouraged a return of measles...enabled the corrupt smuggling of Nividia chips to China, stumbled into this unbelievably air safety farce, unleashed an unaccountable domestic terror force on our people, overseen the gross mismanagement of our economy, illegally covered up the Epstein files, and the selling out of Ukraine and Europe to Russia, to all of a sudden become the stand-up guys and do right by the American people?"
The next two years will be scary. Let's hope we can get through it without some major disaster/hurricane/cyberattack or whatever Team Trump lets happen. We cats will keep our paws crossed, and we PURR.
