People Are Begging Democrats To "Do Something" After Elizabeth Warren Complained That Trump And His Team Are "Breaking The Law"
Donald Trump has wasted no time preparing to move back into the White House.
His first order of business seems to be deciding who will be in his cabinet, and the choices he's announced so far have the internet simultaneously scratching its head and holding its breath for the rest.
One person who hasn't minced words about his selections is Sen. Elizabeth Warren. She tweeted, "Donald Trump and his transition team are already breaking the law. I would know because I wrote the law... This is what illegal corruption looks like."

Warren is referring to Trump's slow movement involving the Presidential Transition Act, which includes a conflict of interest pledge. According to CNN, it's mandatory that incoming presidents sign this. However, Trump allegedly has concerns about the mandatory pledge, so he hasn't signed it. But he has reportedly vowed to avoid conflicts of interest once he's in office.
Warren's tweet may not have gotten the response she expected. Many responses are from people who seem to agree with her, but who are begging her to do more than just tweet about it. This person said, "don't just post this on Twitter. Do something."
Elizabeth don’t just post this on Twitter. Do something.

And finally, this person shared that they're already tired of this political dynamic. "I don't have it in me for four years of US senators posting every time Trump breaks the law. Get your peers together and fucking do something about it and let us know your progress."
