They should be. He will inevitably say something to incite people now and it is too risky to be the network or place he says it on.
They are filing the resolution Monday and would be voting on Tuesday as I understand it.
The way I read the language of the 25th, the President is relieved immediately upon the document with the signatures of the majority of the Cabinet and the VP being officially received by Pelosi and Grassley and being made public. Then if as assumed the President disputes that, then the Cabinet+VP have to counter that within 4 days of his filing the dispute – so they would have to have that counter-motion already sitting there signed ready to be delivered the instant his disputing motion arrives (and at the start of the process have announced they will only take written, signed documents, no online posts, no press conference announcements, no calls to TV shows), and then the Congress has 21 days to decide to sustain the relief (with the 2/3 requirement this time on both houses). All involved would have to be on the same page in that during the initial term for dispute Trump stays relieved, and if countered and referred to Congress he still remains relieved for the 21 days, and that during that term his orders will be worthless until authority is returned to him under the Amendment’s own terms. Or the term runs out.
Pence however may feel he just can’t round up 8 firm votes, either at all or quickly enough to get the papers to the leaders’ offices and announced before the fact leaks upstream and Trump fires the entire Cabinet (sitting and currently Acting) first.
I figure by tomorrow we’ll see a new twitter account set up by “John Barron”.
Well, I think if he gets it going, they will find a way to get it done. However, I think they are not going to do it.
There’s several already:

Yes, Peter deserves a medal for that one. I really liked that. Thanks for bringing that back to the tip of the thread.
It also suggests that going forward the appropriate pronunciation of “GOP” should not be “Jee-oh-PEE” but should rhyme with cop, glop, plop, and slop.
Cole Porter concurs:
I’m the nominee of the G.O.P., or GOP!
But if, baby, I’m the bottom, you’re the top!
I’ll bet if Smapti set up an account, it would get banned in minutes.
Trump hates it when Putin makes him sing this.
You know, if he does kill himself, I hope he does so in front of many witnesses, and preferably on camera. If he’s just found dead in the Oval Office, his supporters will circulate conspiracy theories about his assassination by Biden.
Trump could ask them to pull the trigger and they’d still blame Biden once they finished wiping off the blood.
“Trump” already means “fart” (or really, a loud fart, that trumpets) in UK slang. Why not just adopt that?
No, no. Biden is too old and feeble. It will be Harris or Obama. In the Oval Office. With the candlestick.
With the laptop.
Kamala did it:
“I hated Trump. I HATED HIM…SOOOOO MUCH…that I…flames…on the side of my…breathing…flames…heaving breaths…”
“Nice try, Harris, there are no more bullets in that gun.”
“Look what you made me do!”
I’d sure hate to be a person named John Barron right now (or any variation of Trump or his minions).
About that “why don’t people go by their first names” thread…
I would not be surprised if he commits suicide if it looks like he’s going to jail. He’s never had to face real consequences for his actions before, and that’s going to scare the hell out of him.
And I think that if he does, it will be covered up and made to look like something else. Because even his ending will be a lie.
“I demand a recount! One plus two plus one plus one…”
