The Independent: #MikeJohnson calls budget vote despite #Republican anger over #Medicaid cuts and deficit (cost in bill to give tax breaks to the rich)
The House of #Representatives pulled an expected vote Wednesday night on the #Senate's #budgetblueprint as Republicans faced resistance from their own party — which several #GOP lawmakers warned would happen.

"Rallies were held in different communities across #Iowa, including Cedar Rapids, Dubuque, Red Oak & Waterloo. In Central Iowa, there were protests in Ames at Bandshell Park & a large one drawing thousands to downtown Des Moines...
"I'm hoping this is a start. I hope everybody is not home posting memes, but they're calling our #senators. They're calling our #representatives. They're writing letters," said Barb Farrow"

Some #Republicans are pushing back on #tariffs and one quite loudly.
Will it work? That remains to be seen butI predict that this will affirm the fear of many #Republican voters leading to them calling & writing to their own #Senators & #Representatives. That & the wave of #Democratic might *make* a difference. How much these leaders care about their own ellectorate is unclear, but they *do* care about their own #power & #prestige.

@Remittancegirl Absolutely horrified and disgusted by this. I've reached out to my Federal #Representatives about this. They're all #Republican, because #NC #gerrymanders elections. My grandfather was in WW2 and literally fought against this garbage.
Nine Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives joined Democrats to continue efforts to allow new parents who serve in Congress to vote remotely or by proxy. Read more from @CBSNews

#Constituency that find themselves having
'#Representatives' that (after being elected)
do NOT represent the wishes of their Constituency
MUST DEMAND their resignation
and not wait for the 'term' to expire.
>Replace them with whom is willing to represent their interest<.
I saw some '#Townhall
Among ' #Maga #GOP #Representatives' and their #Constituency
(people who elected them to be >represented<)
One of the #MAGA Rep. said that 'She was not in agreement' with the requests of his Constituency
(who care if you agree ? you job is to represent)
Another, to the request of his Constituency to intervene against #musk
replied 'I support Musk'
But ...
if these #MAGA 'representatives' do not represent who voted them to be represented ...
shouldn't they resign?
Why Social Security is in the worst crisis since its founding in 1935, and what you can do about it

"Please call your #senators & #representatives today and tell them you want to save #SocialSecurity by adding back staff #Musk has fired... and keeping Musk’s hands off Social Security.
The #Capitol switchboard operator is at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with the #House and #Senate offices you request."
But.... the #Magas
at this point
are realizing
that the '#Representatives' who they voted to be 'represented'
they DO NOT represent them ?
or
Still
they
have
some
doubts ?
The whole argument that goes, "why would he even want #Canada? We'd be a state of democrats" is laughable. What makes you assume we'd have #senators or #representatives? No, we'd be the Puerto #Rico of the north. All resources, no representation.
The only trans representative in the USA is a Zionist. Only awful people can get into positions of power in the USA wether they are from marginalized groups or not.
Today's letter to my #representatives regarding the #US position on #Ukraine at the #UnitedNations
Many who voted for #MAGA #Republican #Representatives
are realizing that those who believed they have voted to be represented
do not represent them at all .
Many who voted for Trump are angry
...
But not angry enough
yet.
Maybe next time you vote
try to vote for someone that will represent your interest
and NOT just #Trump or #Musk interest.
Gonna bet our US #Republican #senators & #representatives have more to hide in their #irs tax filings than we do.
Dammit! The current US administration wants to go back to an earlier era and keep #girls and #women down. We must always encourage girls’ interest in #science. And we all have to push our #senators and #representatives to stop this #discrimination.
