DOGE is nothing more than two billionaires cosplaying as government officials. I’m all for making government for efficient, but these guys just want to slash resources for agencies that help working people.

Trans people, the ppl who love them, & the ppl that believe in the humanity of all — live in SC, in red states, in the south, & across the country. All these ppl want a government that can deliver for their families & businesses. Nancy Mace is wrong, hateful, & also just not that smart.
The GOP can’t pass a farm bill or appropriation bills or pretty much anything, but has time for crap like this. Nancy Mace and Marjorie Taylor Greene embarrass the institution with their obsession on people‘s private parts. Such an unclassy move. What a way to welcome a new colleague… Embarrassing.
this is how Nancy Mace welcomes the first trans woman to Congress
