Progressive activists have an agenda for resisting Trump. Will Democrats follow it?

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : They also are urging the party to take big swings in Congress, including threatening to shut down the government if Republicans don't agree to rein in Trump.
42% : "77 million voters elected President Trump to eliminate wasteful spending, make federal agencies more efficient, and appoint outsiders to his Cabinet - and the overwhelming majority of Americans believe he is following through on his promises," White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said in an emailed statement.
37% : " While no Democrat in Congress has publicly made all those demands, some have said they will only vote to fund the government if the bill includes some provision to make sure Trump actually spends the money required by law - as he is currently refusing to do with foreign aid.
36% : "Democrats don't use the tools they do have to fight against those nominees and make clear they are not qualified," Jacobson said. To protest the confirmation of Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought, an author of the right-wing Project 2025 policy playbook, Senate Democrats delayed the vote for 30 hours by speaking the entire time about their opposition to Trump and Vought's plans.
32% : But once Trump took office, he took unprecedented and aggressive steps to remake the federal government, including firing thousands of employees, punishing law enforcement officials for having worked on investigations of his own alleged crimes, and eliminating the U.S. Agency for International Development.
19% : While Democrats contend that Trump is violating the Constitution's separation of powers by stopping congressionally mandated spending, Johnson said last week that it would violate the same principle to limit the president's ability to fire staff.
17% : Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, was ejected for standing and shouting that Trump has no mandate, for which 10 Democrats voted with Republicans to censure him.
