That is not something that should be allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim joined the show on Sunday to discuss the ongoing action stemming from Trump and his administration. As Democrats grow frustrated with the changes, many are calling on them to protest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He argued that his party is ready to shut down the federal government over the various actions, including shuttering the U.S. Agency for International Development and Elon Musk\u2019s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) having access to federal payment systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve worked in government. I\u2019ve worked through multiple government shutdowns. I would be the last person who would want to get to that stage, but we are at a point where we are basically on the cusp of a constitutional crisis,\u201d Kim said. \u201cSeeing this administration taking steps that are so clearly illegal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump has received sharp criticism over the administration\u2019s recent actions, including saying he wants to take over Gaza. Some Democrats have said the idea would amount to \u201cethnic cleansing\u201d and say it\u2019s a distraction from all of the action within federal agencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last weekend, DOGE officials gained access to the Treasury Department\u2019s federal payment system, which controls $6 trillion annually and has access to Americans\u2019 tax records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kim argued that Republicans need Democrats to help fund the government ahead of the March deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn a few weeks, the Republicans are going to try to figure out how they move forward and they have, for the last two years, needed Democratic votes for every single continuing resolution and they should not count on that this time,\u201d Kim said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democratic Sen.
