Jeffries: "Every single one of the signatories voted for a House bill that undermined the clean energy economy, noted that it would hurt their own constituents, voted for the bill anyway, and the begged the Senate to make it different. That's not how we should be legislating in the US House."

Wow. So he votes to gut Medicaid and throw 17 million people off of their healthcare and then dumps his Medicaid related stock to cover his own ass?
That’s just evil and cruel.

Republican Congressman Bresnahan recently sold his stock in Centene, a Medicaid health care provider. The stock has now fallen 43% since his sale.
His sale seemingly coincides with his vote to advance Trump's budget bill that will kick 17 million Americans off their health care.

Absolutely nothing about this is right to any degree. No wonder I rarely leave my apartment. If I saw this happening, I would probably be deported to the South Sudan or El Salvador

If you know anyone in the National Guard, send this video to them.
They do not have to follow orders that will hurt their fellow countrymen. They can fight this legally.
Please remember, the National Guard takes the same pledge to our Constitution as the rest of our military.

He spent the session protesting Trump's policies and the effects of Elon Musk's and DOGE's federal cost-cutting efforts on agencies and people's jobs.
