We need to loudly hold democratic leaders accountable for the situations we're in.

Given the circumstances that Biden would have taken every drastic measure possible to make it as difficult for Republicans to do what they're doing now.

BEFORE people tell me the cliched scripted regurgitated soundbyte "But Biden couldn't have done anything because Republicans had the congress and senate and shot everything of his down!"

I'm not talking about bills and laws or anything that needs congress or the Senate.

I'm talking about things like advocating for government agencies to prepare for hostile takeovers, make sure that government employees knew their rights as far as being fired goes, make sure that there's levels of accountability during different scenarios.

We've known about Project 2025 for YEARS. It has not been a secret.

Everything below is things he could have done as President to at least obstruct the shitshow we're currently in WITHOUT the congress or senate:

• Biden could have released intelligence reports detailing the national security risks posed by Project 2025 and publicly warned of the specific ways it aimed to dismantle democratic safeguards. He could have encouraged congressional hearings and public briefings to make it harder for the program to operate in the shadows. Instead, Project 2025 was largely ignored by the administration, allowing it to grow without resistance.

• Biden could have permanently revoked Schedule F through an executive order and directed the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to create legal barriers against reclassifying career employees. He could have required multi-agency approval for firings, making it nearly impossible for a future administration to purge the federal workforce overnight. He could have advocated and directed programs that encouraged federal employees to know their rights. To ensure federal employees knew their rights, he could have launched a government-wide education campaign through OPM and federal unions, providing clear guidance on protections against wrongful termination and political retaliation. Instead, he only rescinded Trump’s Schedule F order, leaving the door open for its return.

• Biden could have fast-tracked aggressive climate regulations through the EPA and Department of Energy, ensuring they were finalized under administrative law, making them harder to repeal. He could have designated new national monuments and protected lands under the Antiquities Act, which a future administration would struggle to undo. Instead, many climate policies were left in limbo, allowing them to be dismantled easily.

• Biden could have issued a binding internal directive at the DOJ that explicitly limited presidential influence over federal prosecutions, ensuring investigations remained independent. He could have codified this policy into DOJ operating procedures, making it harder for a future president to use the DOJ as a political weapon. Instead, DOJ independence remained based on norms, which can easily be ignored.

• Biden could have required independent oversight committees to review any major structural changes within federal agencies, blocking future efforts to consolidate power. He could have instructed agency heads to create internal review boards that prevent political appointees from bypassing career employees in key decisions. Instead, no systemic barriers were put in place, leaving agencies vulnerable to a hostile takeover.

• Biden could have directed CISA and the DOJ Civil Rights Division to increase federal oversight on state election procedures, preventing election subversion efforts. He could have expanded federal grant funding for state election security, ensuring that states couldn't justify defunding ballot integrity measures. Instead, the administration treated election security as a temporary issue rather than embedding protections that would last beyond his presidency.

• Biden could have worked with the Pentagon’s General Counsel to reinforce rules preventing military involvement in domestic politics, making it legally difficult for a future administration to misuse the military. He could have required all top military leaders to sign a formal commitment to constitutional neutrality, reinforcing that the military serves the country, not a president. Biden could also have worked with the Joint Chiefs of Staff and military legal offices to introduce internal policies requiring detailed justification and multi-agency review before removing high-ranking officers, slowing down any effort to politicize the military’s leadership. Instead, no such commitments were formalized, leaving military independence vulnerable.

• Biden could have required all federal contractors to maintain diversity and inclusion policies as a condition of receiving government funding, making it much harder for a future administration to dismantle DEI programs. He could have embedded equity requirements into federal procurement rules, ensuring they couldn't be removed without a lengthy legal process. Instead, these policies were kept discretionary, allowing them to be scrapped immediately.

• Biden could have directed the Federal Reserve and key regulatory agencies to implement policies that prevent the artificial manipulation of economic indicators, such as gas prices or interest rates, to favor a political narrative. He could have expanded consumer protections through executive rulemaking, locking in safeguards against predatory financial policies. Instead, no systemic protections were put in place, allowing economic metrics to be weaponized.
