Summary
Congressional Republicans are quietly concerned about Trump’s deep budget cuts, which are impacting red states, but few are openly opposing them.
Cuts to energy projects, medical research, and food aid programs have alarmed some GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins and Sen. Katie Britt.
Meanwhile, Trump and Elon Musk continue dismantling federal agencies, drawing legal challenges.
While some Republicans attempt to redirect funding, they remain hesitant to challenge Trump directly, fearing political repercussions.
Because they are cowards

If they cut my son’s special education program my Congressman is hearing from me daily. It’s fucking Nazi Eugenics. Adapt or die and they frankly don’t care which it is.
Missouri here… if you’re worried about your congressman hearing from you daily after the cuts, you’re already on the game too late. If you’re concerned you need to be doing it before
Section 504 may on the chopping block federally soon, but more critically is Texas v. Bacerra. Please check if your state is joining and call your reps asap. Talk to your sped teachers and fellow parents too.

It’s already past time to be making those calls, at the least.
Uh oh, watch out. Collins is thinking about the idea to think about saying something slightly stern to President Musky and Lady Trump.
As Congress, they can act and ensure that these cuts don’t happen, but that would require them not being complicit.
It’s hard to speak up with your face buried in a crusty asshole
Who cares what they think, USA Today? It’s not relevant because they never act on it. They’re just taking up space.
