Please read Jerry Weiss' Feathers of hope. https://jerryweiss.substack.com/

The committee was stacked. We only need a few Congressional Republicans to have shared government.

We need to encourage Don Bacon R. NE. and other Republicans who are standing up to Trump and MAGA Mike. He and Reps. David Valadao, R-Calif., Don Bacon, R-Neb., Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., Rob Bresnahan Jr., R-Pa., Juan Ciscomani, R-Ariz., Jen Kiggans, R-Va., Young Kim, R-Calif., Robert Wittman, R-Va., Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., Nick LaLota, R-N.Y., Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y., and Jeff Hurd, R-Colo signed a letter:

“Many hospitals — particularly in rural and underserved areas — rely heavily on Medicaid funding, with some receiving over half their revenue from the program alone,” the representatives wrote. “Providers in these areas are especially at risk of closure, with many unable to recover. When hospitals close, it affects all constituents, regardless of healthcare coverage.”

Besides the Medicaid issue, Republican Reps have called out Trump/Musk on national security and tariffs.

On MSNBC Saturday, Velshi asked Bacon about tariffs. He said, in essence, any Reagan Republican would remove Trump tariff authority. To do that, they need all of the House Dems.

Plus Bacon said Trump has a "moral blindscape" re Ukraine. Retired General. Russia is not a superpower. Mexico with nuclear weapons.

Says anyone who served has to oppose Hegseth, SIGNAL.

Says we are better than any other country in agriculture. Says Trump has broken free trade. In essence, we are losing the trade war.

I continue to say the entire GOP is just as responsible for the mess we are in as trump. I am hoping your note sort of proves me wrong. Especially the part about then calling out trumpmusk on national security and tariffs. I will be checking out the jerry weiss substack. This is info I can use....thank you very much!

7 Republican senators cosporsored the bill that would strip him of tariff authority.

We need to pressure them. Picket, sit in. Pressure their donos.

Lucy pulled the first football. As predicted. The second one is coming. Wait for it, Charlie Brown. All the wish casting in the world won't change that.
