Many on the left, myself included, are furious at Democratic Party officials for not aggressively contesting President Donald Trump. The decision by Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (New York) last week to acquiesce to a Trump-backed budget bill was the latest in a series of capitulations by congressional Democrats. Even worse is California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has bizarrely decided this is the time for him to start a podcast with softball interviews of pro-Trump conservatives such as Stephen K. Bannon and Charlie Kirk.
But there are some Democratic politicians who are showing real fight and resolve — and have from the start of Trump’s second term. They are not only voting against his initiatives but attacking him in ways intentionally designed to get media attention and galvanize opposition against the new administration.
Here are some of the stars of Resistance 2.0, at least in the first two months of the second Trump administration. It’s not a comprehensive list, nor is it a power ranking (I have ordered them alphabetically), but each of these figures has distinguished themselves in ways that others in the party should emulate.

With any luck, AOC will primary Chuck Schemer and win.
in 2008 Bernie was all for getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse. Then he caught a ride on the WF&A gravy train.

clearly newscum is going to try to run as a moderate
Doubling? They are “all in”!
Who TH is Perry Bacon, Jr.?
Newsom is planning to run for President in 2028. He started this show to provide a record that he's a moderate who can work with anyone. He never gets angry. He never raises his voice. He never argues too hard. He's the voice of reason.
Gavin’s next interview is Gov. Walz. Competition?
He’s spacing out his podcasts so that it doesn’t appear to interfere with his day job.
I would not lift a finger to save a Democrats life.
That is how much Democrats have done to America.
Don’t go away angry, just go away!
Here you go...

Hopefully not!!!! Let them lose 10-12 more election cycles first, please!!!
These six Democrats are in a 20% approval hole and shoveling as fast as they can.
I could have done that myself except that it is a violation of the Free Republic consent agreement.
Congratulations on your violation of the Free Republic consent agreement.
They will. The Republicans have the youth vote now. Dems have 75-80 year olds. They will not be around long. On issues the video is interesting. Dems have health care, SS.
Republicans winning on the rest.
Economy is still the most important issue to left and right.
Ezra still not ready to change despite what pollster told him. Still believes it’s messaging, more tic toks
Anyway, like I was sayin’, shrimp is the fruit of the sea. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey’s uh, shrimp-kabobs, shrimp creole, shrimp gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There’s pineapple shrimp, lemon shrimp, coconut shrimp, pepper shrimp, shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp salad, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger, shrimp sandwich. That- that’s about it.
