"Senate Democrats Are Still Figuring
Out This Whole Resistance Thing"
Zach Carter's article, "Senate Democrats Are Still Figuring Out This Whole Resistance Thing" discusses the important battle between President Trump and congressional Democrats. The Trump Administration has been sitting on Democratic nominations in the House of Representatives. Federal agencies are having the chairmen selected by the President and "there isn’t a whole lot they (Democrats) can do without Republican help to block a Trump candidate for these jobs." Democrats do have influence over the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Facebook had been operating under a consent order from FTC since 2011 and later "had agreed reform the way it tracked user data and shared those data with other companies."
"Chopra is one of the few Democratic nominees to make it through the Trump administration logjam" but the Republican FTC can not be controlled to do anything. Later, Trump picked Mark Calabria, who said he'd eliminate the government-controlled housing giants.
"Late last month, 20 progressive organizations signed a letter chastising Senate Democrats for inaction on Democratic appointees." They had been delaying Republic nominations. Some of the groups are now saying that Democrats should block Calabria's nominations. Even with all this going on, some Democrats are saying they have no power. "It’s true that Democrats can’t force McConnell or Trump to do anything they don’t want to do", but they will try their best to cause problems for them. Either way, the approach the Democrats are taking, doesn't seem to currently be working for them.

I believe this article was worth reading because it address something that is happening right now. It gave great information that was easy to understand. It also gave many links throughout to give you more information with other sources. It was a good size that wasn't too long and kept me interested to know more. I thought it was a great read and I believe that the writer was not being biased. These are just a few reasons that I believe others could enjoy it.
