‘We are pissed’: opposition to Trump, slow to energize, now shakes off its slumber

Protests held across the country in first week-long recess of the new Trump administration.

Activists say the week of protests signals a growing movement.

With few exceptions, Republicans have remained silent as the president asserted authority over Congress .

Some of Trump and Musk ’s actions have stalled some of the first administration's first actions.

New polling suggests many Americans are n’t pleased with Musk ’s aggressive government cuts and access to sensitive taxpayer data.

A Washington Post-Ipsos poll found that twice as many respondents disapproved as approved of Musk shutting down federal agencies that he deems unnecessary.

A CNN survey found that 62% of respondents including 47% of Republicans believe Trump has not done enough to address many Americans ’ top concern: the high cost of everyday goods.

The plan, a blueprint for enacting key pieces of the president’s immigration and energy agenda, passed on a near-total party-line vote early on Friday morning .

To pay for the House version, Republican negotiators are considering steep cuts to social services.

With only a razor-thin majority in the House , GOP leaders can hardly afford any defections.
