Oh look. IL farmers bost and miller both sit on the agriculture committee that sponsor legislation that benefits farmers. These southern IL and SW IL rural districts are flooded with SNAP recipients & mary miller has never had a town hall.

Did this vote already happen? I'm going down the list, making contact, and Congressman Baird had an X post about voting for "Trump's one big, beautiful bill. "

Has Ronny “Happy Hour” Jackson. Just buy him a case or two of Mad Dog

I tried to email Chairman Thompson since he's from my state. This is what came up on his site. OUTSIDE OF DISTRICT- The zip code entered indicates that you reside outside the district. Due to the large volume of US mail and email we are only able to accept messages from residents of the district.

WA State District 4: Dan Newhouse (R) Agriculture/Appropriations - Let him know how you feel He represents workers in WA wine country; many children below poverty in that district; incredible that he did not vote No on bill to begin with They need SNAP program! WA, you know who to oust.

Thompson's district (he's my Congressman) is primarily rural and farmland. If he wants to keep his constituents happy, he'll look out for the farmers. Unfortunately, it's also a safe district.

joyaco.bsky.social•13 days ago

Mine too, unfortunately. I've called and emailed multiple times. Even if regular folks in pa15 don't know how bad this will be, he does, and he doesn't care.

Thompson is my congressman. He's almost as sleazy as they get but definitely as tRumpy as they get. When I was a reporter his staff stopped letting me know when he was coming to town right after I asked him a question that wasn't pre-approved. Probably a coincidence, right? 🙄

Who are the vulnerable Republican Members?

point of interest - note the differences between the members of the two parties

Hello! First, I want to say thank you for putting this together, this is amazing. I have a question and I apologize if it's kind of dumb, but for example I live in Kansas and there are Kansas reps that serve on these committees. Do I call them even if I don't live in their particular district?

missroyalkc.bsky.social•13 days ago

I guess I'll just wing it lol

Those student loan cuts? They come from the Education and Workforce Committee. Here's the list of members. Same deal here as well.

timelord7.bsky.social•13 days ago

What the hell do they want to cut re student loans??

kateculliton.bsky.social•13 days ago

They want taxes on Scholarships, not sure what the loan BS is.
Just so much shit!

@aftunion.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social
Contact Committee Members tell them they must stand up for students and education. Hit hard on vulnerable GOP members!

ronicats.bsky.social•13 days ago

List the vulnerable Tepublicans.

weegrump.bsky.social•13 days ago

LOL the Dems don't even get pictures

jems16.bsky.social•13 days ago

I noticed that... also that the GOPers on the Education committee are some of the most dimwitted members of Congress.

bbkogan.bsky.social•13 days ago

If we lose there, and Republicans make it through all the reconciled committees, it goes to the Budget Committee. Here's the list of members. Same deal, try to stop it at the Budget Committee.

Is this the step we're currently at? I'm contacting congresspeople... it seems like the House vote already happened.

If we lose there, it'll go through the Rules Committee for a rule. Here's a list of the member.

Omg. The gop side of this committee is positively medieval

Guillotines in the DC traffic circles

And if we lose there, it goes to the full floor for passage. When Republicans were trying to repeal the ACA in 2017, we initially stopped them here in March of 2017 before losing in May of 2017.

No John McCain this time!

bbkogan.bsky.social•13 days ago

This is where the body as a whole will be voting on passage of a bill that would rip Medicaid away from many millions of people while taking food away from the hungry. They will console themselves because it could change. But we need to try to stop them here. If they can't pass it here, it's stuck.

massdisillusion.bsky.social•13 days ago

And give 1% another $5T tax cut. 5 trillion

bbkogan.bsky.social•13 days ago

If we lose there, it goes to the Senate. If the House skipped any of the steps, the Senate will have to go through the committee process as well - and it may choose to regardless.
