The effects of the administration’s firings and freezes don’t stop at the boundaries of Congressional districts, and neither should you. It’s time to talk to your neighbors:

impossible to overstate the extent to which swing district Republican members of congress are at this point not only avoiding town halls but simply declining to appear in public at all

Absolutely sickened to see @jaredgolden.bsky.social voting with Trump 72% of the time. Some of these are such terrible votes. He needs to hold a town hall and answer to the good people of ME02. Like my MOM who knocked doors for him in the RAIN.
Of the 18 votes that I classified as more than just small-bore/unanimous or procedural, the following Democrats voted with Trump at least 1/3 of the time.
82 Democrats did zero times.

How fitting that Gingrich, the OG agency slayer, attended the joint address. Did you know he defunded a vital agency in the 90’s, crippling our ability to anticipatorily address things like pandemics, climate change, AI? Defunded agencies are difficult to resurrect. www.nbcnews.com/think/opinio...
Opinion | Since this White House ignores science, Congress needs its own scientific agency
With nonpartisan experts sidelined, information gets channeled through lobbyists, anonymously funded front groups and special interests. Let's stop that.

House Republicans have just been ordered to stop holding Town Hall meetings.
They can run from their extreme agenda.

I’m ready to go on the road in California and start hosting town halls - in Republican districts. If GOP House members won’t hold town halls in their districts, we will.
