In response to mounting grassroots pressure, Democrats are intensifying their efforts to confront the Trump administration's attempts to restructure federal governance. A senior House Democrat emphasized that the party can no longer afford to take a passive approach. Recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries proposed a comprehensive 10-part plan aimed at countering Trump's moves to defund crucial programs. Democrats are also mobilizing via direct protests and placing holds on nominations, signaling a swift shift towards more aggressive congressional actions.
