Elected officials need to represent all of their constituents, not just the ones that voted for them or contributed money to them. We had that lovely social media message from Trump yesterday and now this video from Nancy Mace is circulating. I cry for our democracy.

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.
