I know this gets called for so much that it starts to become background noise, but now is an excellent time to call your congressional reps, regardless of party, and tell them what you expect them to do to contain Trump. Don't mince words. They may not agree with you, but they do monitor these calls and they do talk to each other. If enough of them feel the tide turning they will abandon Trump. They are fearful creatures and they move in packs. If enough of them move at once and visible momentum against Trump builds, there's a good chance he can be contained democratically before he has a chance to meddle with the midterms, and even if he's not impeached he'll still have to do damage control with his party, which will limit his options.
My fellow Americans, please call your reps, and Senators, no matter how die-hard MAGA they are, and let them feel the pressure of the moment.
