I like to see this. Maybe maybe maybe he's seeing how fucked things have become. The PEPFAR Part is huge. PPL need to be able to continue to stay on their ARVs. It's hard enough to get PLHIV into treatment.
A few days ago I asked if even one republican in Congress would stand up to Trump. Let’s see if Lawler (my representative) could be the one. I’m not optimistic.
Oh no! Oh dear, @mikelawler1.bsky.social ! The assholes you have licked are now doing you dirty? They're cutting things you think are actually working? Too fucking bad, you RINO cuck!

fyi, I am NOT Congressman Mike Lawler- NY. That guy sucks. I'm: actor, hiker, dog lover, reader of Timothy Ryback, Chris Hedges, Matt Taibbi, Wallace Shawn, among others.
By “them” I mean Trump, Musk and the cabinet. It’s not affecting them yet. For sure, senators and congressmen are starting to feel the pinch. Sorry - should have been more clear.
Fair enough (clarity is difficult in an online format). But they’ll feel the pinch soon enough. Trump is slowly and quietly distancing himself from Musk for a reason.
This is why it’s actually extremely important to point out how they’re hurting their own people. They need to know, regardless of what they believe, that they also need the government, and that the government is a power for good.
Hard times create strong men / strong men create good times / good times create weak men / weak men create hard times
Turns out this is actually true, except the "good times" is "a functioning liberal democracy with a broad administrative state" and the weak men are the DOGE psychos et al
He’s ambitious and this hurts his ambitions. Republicans are literally hard wired to never see beyond their own personal needs. He’s fine with everyone else’s constituents being harmed, but his constituents feeling pain jeopardizes his future.
The point is, they’ll notice the cuts. It’s all well and good to own the libs so long as they’re unbothered. He can cover his ass all he wants but the fact is, he’s genuinely worried his constituents will turn on him.
Twelve of my friends died in one summer. Only I didn't become positive. I will never know why. The White House wants infected citizens dead. Lawler's cowardice has got the country where it is.
All I can say is he better check himself before maga wrecks himself.
I don't think they're allowed to speak out against the regime without consequence.
I’ve been meaning to do a district-level enrollment breakout like this for years but never got around to it until now.
It’s a ton of work but now that I have the template streamlined I can do updates in the future as appropriate…assuming the data is even still being collected & made public…
They were tripping over themselves in adoration of Trump and Musk and the DOGE boys. Now they are suddenly realizing that the government HELPS PEOPLE! F*ck you, Lawler and the horse you rode in on!
Spare me. Trump called social security a ponzi scheme (but he’s happy with a real ponzi scheme known as cryptocurrency). He also knew Kennedy unless he died of his wormhole in his brain palled around with him.
This is SABOTAGE, and theyre doing the song and dance for votes but they KNOW "we the people" are no longer taken into account in the law or the constitution. And these clowns dare to engage in outrage porn about destruction they created. They still have people believing theyre not paid saboteurs.
Exactly. I think he’s trying to make himself look like he was against it while being for it whole time and I hope his constituents aren’t stupid enough to fall for his BS act.
There's no end to MAGA who thought somehow they'd use a surgeon's scalpel and only hurt liberals. "It wasn't supposed to hurt me". Waa, waaa. No sweetie, they are taking a chainsaw to the Constitution. How could that not hurt everyone?
We don't have a lot going for us right now, but we do have @michaelianblack.bsky.social giving this guy some serious shit on a recent episode of Have I Got News For You.
....he is no better than his constituents who voted and continues to vote for him. They SHOULD WALK to downtown Manhattan to access those services. I DON'T give a fuck about them. Garbage in, garbage out.

The sharers-of-that-meme see the 'bad times' as some sort of external force. No assholes. It's You who are doing that!
It is not just him
So unless he clearly speaks out against trump and musky, he can shove it
This is not to get stuff done
It's just to cover his ass when his constituents notice the cuts
He believes AIDS is caused by poppers.

WFP never endorsed the guy nor did he seek their endorsement.
In our district, the WFP endorsed the Democrat Ryan.
They are not the "Green" Party with Russian asset Jill Stein.

It was a miss by other guests to not highlight Musk’s $1.5MM investment in Lawler’s campaign and how that might make anything he says highly suspect.
T&Ps Lawler.
I doubt this guy is this stupid to think his district won't be included. Maybe it's just that his constituents are getting shafted.
