Republican lawmakers are pushing back against sweeping cuts to the federal government launched by President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, as their downsizing crusade begins to hit GOP constituents.
A growing number of GOP lawmakers are trying to intervene with the Trump administration and are weighing legislation to circumvent the changes. But with the Department of Government Efficiency and the Office of Management and Budget moving at a rapid clip and flouting federal law to carve up the government, the lawmakers face monumental challenges in getting the White House to spare their constituents from the ax.
It’s an awkward position for GOP lawmakers who have otherwise voiced support for DOGE.
“An awkward position”??? They are elected officials, and should do what their constituents want, not what will keep them in good graces with the Orange god king and his bumbling idiot vizier.
The Venn diagram circle of constituents who are complaining now is about 99% inside the one of constituents who will vote MAGA no matter what.
