Summary
Republican lawmakers are beginning to push back against some of Donald Trump’s spending cuts and tariffs as they impact their states.
Senators Katie Britt, Susan Collins, and Bill Cassidy criticized cuts to NIH funding, which support research institutions in their states.
Rural Republicans introduced a bill to protect the Food for Peace program, which Trump and Elon Musk want to dismantle.
Tariffs on imports, particularly from Canada, have also sparked objections from figures like Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley, who warn they will raise costs for farmers and consumers.

5 Republican senators are named in the summary. Any 4 of them could have stopped any of his insane confirmations from happening.
I hate to even say it, but I believe McConnell actually voted against at least one of the recent nominees.
However, the only reason he did was because he knew that he could without tipping the balance. If it was a close vote, he absolutely would have gotten in line.
He’s voted no on a couple of nominees, but he had been the senate republican leader. Not being able to sway more people would lead me to belive he’s either on the outs or doesn’t care enough.
Indeed. NBC has to quit the wishful thinking. They’re desperate for any sign of any beginning of any good news from the GOP and they’re not seeing any. The truth is, the sycophantic spineless republican senators are obeying their overlord like good little minions and there’s no two ways around it.
Uuugggghhhhhhh…STOP BEING RIGHT!!! Look, I want to argue what you’re saying, but factually it is correct.
I just don’t WANT it to be right.
They still don’t realize that the things they’ve been helping Donny and Elmo put on everyone’s wrists (including themselves) are shackles. By the time they do, it will be far too late. Corrupted power respects nothing.
Leapards don’t care whose face they eat.
I didn’t think they’d eat my face
“They’re hurting the wrong people!”
Oops, dont give a fuck
And at no other time.
