Summary
Republican lawmakers are beginning to push back against some of Donald Trump’s spending cuts and tariffs as they impact their states.
Senators Katie Britt, Susan Collins, and Bill Cassidy criticized cuts to NIH funding, which support research institutions in their states.
Rural Republicans introduced a bill to protect the Food for Peace program, which Trump and Elon Musk want to dismantle.
Tariffs on imports, particularly from Canada, have also sparked objections from figures like Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley, who warn they will raise costs for farmers and consumers.
Senator Katie Britt
Best known for her unhinged SOTU response, which Scarlett Johansson turned into a comedy masterpiece
5 Republican senators are named in the summary. Any 4 of them could have stopped any of his insane confirmations from happening.
I hate to even say it, but I believe McConnell actually voted against at least one of the recent nominees.
However, the only reason he did was because he knew that he could without tipping the balance. If it was a close vote, he absolutely would have gotten in line.
Indeed. NBC has to quit the wishful thinking. They’re desperate for any sign of any beginning of any good news from the GOP and they’re not seeing any. The truth is, the sycophantic spineless republican senators are obeying their overlord like good little minions and there’s no two ways around it.
Uuugggghhhhhhh…STOP BEING RIGHT!!! Look, I want to argue what you’re saying, but factually it is correct.
I just don’t WANT it to be right.
They still don’t realize that the things they’ve been helping Donny and Elmo put on everyone’s wrists (including themselves) are shackles. By the time they do, it will be far too late. Corrupted power respects nothing.
They still don’t realize
This is just too much benefit of the doubt. They know what they’re doing, they know why they’re doing it, and pretending otherwise is just continuing to participate in a shitty farce.
They know. They don’t give a shit. They would rather fuck their own grandparents to death than admit that the other side of the aisle could be right about anything, ever.
Seriously. They would fuck the blood out of grandma’s cooling body if it made a gay person or black person even mildly uncomfortable for a few seconds. The hate is the only thing that matters. The hate is everything to them.
Leapards don’t care whose face they eat.
I love this for Susan “I think he’s learned his lesson” Collins and especially for Dr. Frankenstein himself, Mitch McConnell.
Reap the whirlwind you fucking fucks.
I didn’t think they’d eat my face
“They’re hurting the wrong people!”
And at no other time.
Oops, dont give a fuck
too bad, so sad. you all shit in the bed, willingly. now lay on it.
Good for Riley Reed from porn star to senator.

The lady on the end Riley…
