Trump Installs Top Justice Dept. Official at Library of Congress, Prompting a Standoff

The president named Todd Blanche, the deputy attorney general, as the acting librarian. But staff members refused access to two department officials he chose for key roles at Congress’s main research arm.

Staff members at the Library of Congress denied access on Monday to two Justice Department officials who had been tapped for top positions there as part of a shake-up initiated by President Trump, according to two people familiar with the situation

The Library of Congress is under congressional control, and Trump doesn’t have the power to replace key officials there until their term expires.

      To be fair, I think folks are trying to figure out HOW to effectively resist.

      Take me for example: Private employer Red State Far from D.C. Already tried to avoid MAGAt businesses/people Have mortgage/kids/etc

      What can I do to help get him out sooner? Personally I think the rallies, while good for morale, don’t bring about change. They’re too sporadic and convenient. As far as I read history, the only protests that were actually effective unfortunately came at the cost of lives. Which I keep reading will play into their hands to declare martial law. So my “acts of resistance” are largely ineffective. Best I’ve done so far, IMHO, is remain seated during the national anthem at a baseball game I went to last week. Not from a lack of caring - from a lack of knowing what to do.

      Any ideas?
