Comments
"I'm not going to denounce all cuts. We have to cut."
The federal workforce accounts for about 6% of the federal budget.
Begich's office did not respond to a request for comment.
No paywalls. No billionaire overlords. No BS.

He'd be more accurate admitting he's too cowardly to go against MAGA. A real he-man, he is. Powerful chap.
You don’t need to be a constituent. His decisions or lack there of affect all of us. He’s not a state level rep. This is the big leagues.
Imagine being so scared you actually tell people who elected you,"There' nothing I can do?"
Watching the silence & cowardice of the GOP is beyond appalling
The real question is: Who are they really afraid of-
Trump or Putin?

REACT. DON’T ROLL OVER

Then he can explain to them why he supports the orange felon

Every corporate business requires education specific to the job your applying for. Why do we not require this, in this day and age of higher education?

Stop buying shit we don't need to survive physically and mentally. They're not going to be too hurt over one day of boycotting them.
This time.
This is a one day action. The March 7 action against Amazon purchases lasts a week. Quitting Amazon altogether is a hard reach for most, but a week is great practice for cutting back further.
Nice job Alaska and other red states that have blessed us with simps like Begich.

Dismantle/Destroy Evidence
Needs to resign immediately.
I cry about our state too and regularly write to Dungleavy.🤭 I think he knows his days are numbered. We deserve better.
So yes, he directly is responsible for these cuts -- or stopping them.
The people of Alaska deserve better. Let’s hope they wake up.
Launch a GAO investigation
Hold hearings
Initiate impeachment
What Congress can't do:
Directly enforce anything
Spineless, not powerless
I have no sympathy for any of those SUCKERS. They voted for chaos & corruption & they got it! They wanted a king over everything. But what they got is Putin's biggest useful idiot - a crazy weak old scumbag
Yeah, my republican representative, Ben Cline too.
Billionaires and the media got Donald elected for one thing 💰and if they don't get it, they are going to be mad. It's huge leverage.
The general situation (which he's not interested in) is that this is illegal impoundment, usurping Congress's power.
Begich is on several relevant committees, including Oversight!
It seems like Republicans are now adopting this "strategy".
I don't think it leads to political success in the long run.

We want the rich to notice we are done with their greed.
Getting out the hearing aid manual again ....
There is no excuse for this conduct.

The Constitution vests the "power of the purse" with Congress — not an unelected oligarch appointed to a position in the executive branch!
There's nothing more that Congresspeople hate than having to interact with their constituents.
Who votes for them, and why?
"Live Free Or Die; Death Is Not The Worst of Evils."
He did not just say the extremely stupid Live Free Or Die. You do not have the right to destroy the lives of others.
"Death Is Not The Worst of Evils" should be State Motto of New Hampshire.
