House Democratic lawmakers reportedly used a closed-door meeting earlier this week to vent their frustrations with progressive advocacy groups that have been driving constituent calls and pressuring the party to act like a genuine opposition force in the face of the Trump administration's authoritarian assault on federal agencies and key programs.

I sort of barely feel sorry for them. Not really, since my freedom and quite possibly my life is on the line - if something isn't done about Muskntrump's coup d'etat relatively soon, the US is on the path to gulags and mass graves. But still... they haven't been any sort of meaningful opposition party in at least 30 years now, so it's sort of like demanding that a fat, lazy mall cop chase down a teenage shoplifter - it is technically their job, but they couldn't hardly be more ridiculously ill-suited for actually carrying it out.
