New York Times: “Republicans Face Angry Voters at Town Halls, Hinting at Broader Backlash” (gift link)
As President Musk and his MAGA acolytes continue their assault on federal agencies and the rule of law, voters across the country are catching on. The article above details some of the outcry.
They’re attacking veterans benefits.
They’re attacking education.
They’re attacking our National Parks.
They’re attacking the US Postal Service.
They’re attacking the medical profession.
They’re gearing up to attack Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
They’re firing the people who advise them to obey laws: senior military leaders, inspectors general, judge advocate generals, and DOJ lawyers.
They’re attacking YOU. (Even if you’re a Republican.)
MAGA Mike Lawler questioned Westchester legislator Jose Alvarado’s citizenship to his face.
Nearby in the Hudson Valley our neighbor MAGA Mike Lawler questioned the citizenship of a Hispanic Westchester County legislator, and refuses to apologize for racism and xenophobia. He’s a go-along, get-along Musk follower, willing to let the White House do whatever it wants to whoever it wants.
And their friends in Orange County are on board, too.
This year’s County and Town elections are critical to show that the people of Orange County are not on board with the MAGA agenda. It’s divisive, it’s cruel, and it’s harmful to our communities, no matter how we voted. As more Republicans and Republican-voting independents see and feel the effects from Washington and Goshen we’ll welcome them to help move forward.
