I can't think of any realistic scenario where the dems take radical action. The only thing they'll do is try to use the courts and they'll continue to hope that "decent" republicans in DC will somehow appear in a deus ex machina and help them. A funny outcome is the dems get a surprising number of wins in court but Trump simply ignores the rulings and he doubles down on breaking the law. And then the only thing the dems will do is beg and plead in vain for bipartisanship.

Sad.

Edit

I just saw this at Bluesky. The libs will never learn.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that they can.
