From cuts to health and agriculture funding to fears of new tariffs negatively impacting local industries and consumers, Republican lawmakers are starting to push back — carefully — against certain aspects of Trump's plans.

With this shuttering of USAID and the plans to shut down the department of education, we are seeing citizens get worried and start to speak up. This is very important.
But one would have to have been pretty dense not to see this coming. There just be a plan.
This is where the FO phase really kicks MAGA lawmakers in the teeth. They win poorly educated districts who rely heavily on federal dollars to survive. Elonald's shotgun to the groin of their constituents will go over about as well as a fart in church.
Everyone needs to watch the re-run of Rachell Maddow show tonight. She is highlighting some of the Musk /Trump money grabs. The State Dept is spending $400m for Teslas. In Huntsville Alabama Musk is pulling back subsidies for poor people's electric bills. Pass this on it is a must watch !
It's a little late for the #GOP to start trying to have a backbone when it comes to #DonaldTrump; they created the monster. Besides, #republicans do not care about anything but themselves.
& how long are Republicans going get away with lies about "Biden inflation?" The facts show he brought post-pandemic global inflation down to almost 2% (w/out a recession), more than any developed country. It just went UP under Trump to 3%. What happened to cheaper eggs on Day 1? #TrumpInflation
@nbcnews.com is close to framing this accurately. Many red states take much more than they give to the Treasury vs. top Dem-paying states, but NBC still says people voted for Trump "to disrupt DC." People voted (for lies) re: inflation. NO ONE voted for this kind of illegal, opaque chaos with Musk.
Time for a pity party?? There are two people responsible for the mess we are in (Trump mess), Merritt Garland for dragging his feet on Trump indictments and Mitch McConnell for discouraging his impeachments. Children would not be starving, women would not be dying due to no oxygen supply.
I hope they will act soon to reverse agricultural research cuts. USDA researchers, including recent PhDs doing additional training (postdocs), were fired overnight. These researchers ensure food safety, promote the bioeconomy, monitor crop health, develop disease resistant crops, advise growers...
They've really been pushing back by...(checks notes)... going along with everything he's doing and rubber-stamping his completely unqualified Cabinet nominees.
