As has been my thoughts here?
The zeal in cutting jobs and agencies across the country by Musk , Project 2025 and Trump is staring to wake Red State lawmakers up to the fact that THEY HAVE Direct impacts on their voters…
Oooops?!
What’s a Republican to do?
Could we see Red State lawmakers JOINING Democrats to pass legislation to HALT Musk/Project 2025 and Trump from their CUTS that produces job losses in Red States and Economic Damage….
Republican lawmakers are pushing back against sweeping cuts to the federal government launched by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as their downsizing crusade begins to hit GOP constituents.
A growing number of GOP lawmakers are trying to intervene with the Trump administration and are weighing legislation to circumvent the changes. But with the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Management and Budget moving at a rapid clip and flouting federal law to carve up the government, the lawmakers face monumental challenges in getting the White House to spare their constituents from the ax.
Idaho Republican Rep. Mike Simpson, a senior appropriator whose district is home to a number of National Park Service sites, said in an interview his staff is talking to the administration about how an OMB-directed, government-wide hiring freeze will affect the National Park Service. The park service fired 1,000 full-time staff Friday but said seasonal hiring is resuming, exempting 5,000 seasonal jobs from the hiring freeze.
Sen. Jerry Moran, another GOP appropriator who represents the agriculture-heavy state of Kansas, has told the White House that DOGE’s dismantling of USAID will impact constituents who have long relied on selling their crops to a government program that fights hunger abroad.
And Sen. Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, who chairs an appropriations subcommittee with jurisdiction over the National Institutes of Health, said her panel’s funding bill includes language to prevent the White House budget office from slashing billions of dollars in health research grant money. Capito has long been a champion of the NIH, linking the biomedical research agency’s funding to grant opportunities in her small state.
“I’m hearing from my institutions concerned about it,” Capito said in an interview. “It’s pretty drastic.”
What’s a Republican to do?
Uh before you do anything Republican, better talk with the owner of your party, D.Trump.He will tell you what to do and think.
And we all know what you will do as a result…
Exactly what he tells you to do,of course!
I do NOT think THAT is gonna last in two weeks for some…
We COULD be looking fat a LONG Govt. SHUTDOWN…..
