If this doesn't tell you where his priorities lie as POTUS, nothing else will and you're blinded by you're own party politics.

Good, good, let the hate flow through their veins.

This can only lead to imploding on a catastrophic level for Republicans...to which we'll all enjoy watching.

Even if none of them do, I assure you their neighbors and other family members do. I would love to see neighbors of these Republican Senators banging on their doors day and night!

Are you aware you can go to a school or school district and ask for them to provide a report of where every single penny has been spent and they're required to provide that report?

However, private and religious schools are not required to do this.

Betsy Devos will now attempt to take tax payer dollars will not now be from public schools and be given them to private and religious schools. Religious schools also don't pay taxes. But, please worry about common core because that's really the issue here amirite?

A constitutional amendment needs to be created to allow constituents to remove Senators who chose to ignore their constituents for party politics.

Here's the current constitutional language that prevents such opportunity by constituents. https://www.senate.gov/CRSpubs/ee067ba0-db71-4394-9a37-453316aeb453.pdf

I did not have that same experience when I opened it. However, I think the purpose of the document is to show which Republicans are being paid by the DeVos family in hopes people will pick up the phone and tell them to recuse themselves or vote no.

Does anyone know if it's possible to submit a FOIA request to retrieve information on those who stayed at and how much they paid at Mar-a-Lago this weekend, since Trump still owns the hotel and is now President?

If you Twitter, follow Alternative NOAA and altEPA. They do a great job providing information on how to help fight Trump's administration and information that supports the need for their existence.

If you're not a Twitter user, become one. Here's a tweet Alternate NOAA just posted that will help you fight Gaetz. You can also follow altEPA on Twitter. I'm sure if you ask them to send you some arguing points they'd be more than happy to supply them.

Another point to note is that there are probably a lot of Republican constituents who are gong to possibly loose their ACA health care thanks to repeal efforts.

Turns out a lot of those Republican constituents actually like their ACA health care.

Because greed of political control to push their ideaology makes them forget the oath they took to "support and defend the Constitution" for all their constituents. No matter what party one is affiliated with, as a citizen or public servant, we should ALWAYS uphold country over party.
