The Trump White House this week sparked chaos across the nation when it issued an executive order that resulted in Medicaid portals getting shut down in all 50 states.
Although the administration rescinded the order after mass outcry, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt afterward issued a confusing statement about the order's status that wound up immediately hurting the administration in court.
Taking stock of this, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) argued that Democrats needed to stop seeing the Trump administration as an omnipotent Goliath and instead see it as a lumbering beast that can be easily tripped up.
"Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent," she wrote on BlueSky. "Opportunities are everywhere."

She then outlined what kind of actions this would entail.
"Make everything as hard as possible," she said Wednesday. "Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are [bad]."
In a followup post, Ocasio-Cortez encouraged her followers to get involved outside of posting on the internet.
"It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too," she said. "Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters."
