Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:
He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.
He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.
He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.
Keep fighting.

It also remains unclear how the two groups spearheading the efforts to save Hawaiʻi’s imperiled forest birds — the Kauaʻi Forest Bird Recovery Project and the Maui Forest Bird Recovery Project — are faring amid the federal cuts by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE.

Another story of FWS employees who lost their jobs. Although the courts have said the order was not lawful, they are not back.
We did not have enough people before they were illegally terminated. Now we expect a reduction in force.

Just fyi, 29 states have filial responsibility laws. So if Elon cuts/kills Social Security or mom's nursing home closes (Medicaid cuts will force many to close EVEN for those who pay full sticker), you're legally required to support them. Surely this will be easy for you! And great for the economy!
Gutting Medicaid will unequivocally lead to dead Americans, including children. And thousands of nursing homes will close; residents will be homeless, even those who pay out of pocket. No way any elected (or unelected) government employee would support this...
Unless they worked for Putin.

These folks in a red district are yelling “do your job” after just electing Trump for President and re-electing Ted Cruz. Maybe they should be yelling, “we fucked up”.
This was a Rep. Keith Self town hall. What did his voters expect?
