WASHINGTON (AP) — Furious Democrats filled Republican town halls across America last week to protest President Donald Trump’s power grab in Washington.
But in recent days, the activists behind those protests have turned their anger toward elected officials in their own party, who they believe are not fighting the Republican president and billionaire adviser Elon Musk with the urgency, aggression or creativity that the moment deserves.
“Are we in a constitutional crisis or not?” said Ezra Levin, co-founder of the anti-Trump resistance group Indivisible, which encouraged progressives to attend town halls and protest outside Tesla dealerships.
Of Democratic leaders, he added, “There’s zero tactical or innovative leadership.”
Indeed, as Trump moves to consolidate control in Washington with little regard for precedent or judges ruling against him, the nation’s most powerful Democrats are offering mixed messages while struggling to break from the rules and norms that have long governed U.S. politics.
Key Democratic governors have spoken out with varying levels of concern, but they have also promised to work with the Trump administration to ensure resources flow to their states.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York has taken heat for spending part of last week’s congressional recess promoting a children’s book he wrote about democracy. Asked about activists’ frustration, he pointed to his party’s united opposition to the GOP budget bill and to the more than 100 lawsuits brought against the president.
“We have to continue to push back aggressively in every way possible in defense of the American people,” Jeffries insisted, acknowledging voters’ “concern, fear, shock and anxiety.”

Ezra Levin, a do nothing, POS.
Screw Ezra Levin.
Surely the AP is confusing Trump with the Biden and his shadow Soviet "ignoring precedent or judges ruling against him" for the last four years.
Reminds me of Republicans who were frustrated their party was not doing enough. Nice to see this on the other side this time around.
Is the AP actually admitting that the GOP townhall “protestors” were actually Dem activist plants?
Nothing this clown says does anything to better the lives of the American people. Its all about lying and power for him.
At least this week they are admitting these are Dems crying at the town halls. Last week they tried to pass them off as disgruntled MAGA.
They spelled “organized Soros funded activists” wrong.
“Trump’s power grab”
Grabbed us by the ballot box, he did. And we let him do it!
Great point. It was totally laughable. They think they still have enough media trust to push a lie that big on the majority of the public. Those days are over.
“Ezra Levin, co-founder of the anti-Trump resistance group Indivisible, which encouraged progressives to attend town halls and protest outside Tesla dealerships.”
Wonder if it’s occurred to the AUTHORITIES that old Ezra here needs to be investigated for the recent ARSON and WINDOW BREAKING at Tesla dealerships? ;)
Wanting peace is now a "power grab"? Or are they referring to exposing waste, fraud, and abuse like never before?
Furious democrats are pissing into the wind their incompetence is no longer excepted by their own breed even a child knows when to stop something hot.
Like most other demonrats.
May Ezra Levin burn forever.
💯.
That’s right.
And we all saw through that big fat lie!
The sooner Ezra is grilled by the authorities the better.
