Yeah, that's what we've been trying to do.
And then in the House on Friday, there's a weird rule that says, if you're Republicans, you don't vote on Fridays.
I don't even want to try to even understand.
You can't vote if it's so close to another vote right before your vacation and you're about to get Maddie and pedicures or something.
I don't even care what the rule is.
It's ridiculous.
But what's going on?
That voting begins on the redistricting plan.
Don't be deceived by all of the lies out there that the MAGAs are spewing.
Listen to what Congressman Subramanian had to say and appreciate you.
Thanks for watching.
Yeah, you know, she said a couple interesting things. She also said that Congress couldn't cut Medicaid, but that's exactly what they're trying to do right now. But, you know, I represent a lot of federal workers and contractors And those are real jobs. They're real people with real families. So certainly the government does actually employ a lot of people that many of them are veterans.
But second, you know, aside from just that, I mean, you know, think of someone who's an employee at the IRS. They actually generate revenue for the government. They can make sure that taxes are collected to make sure waste, fraud and abuse is found and removed. And so a lot of the federal civil service actually saves taxpayers money in the long run. That's why a lot of these programs exist.
They were authorized by Congress to do just that. So, you know, what she said is not true. It doesn't make any sense. And, but, you know, we shouldn't be surprised, right? What we shouldn't be surprised about is a good thing, which is what you were saying before. I think now even Republicans are starting to understand that Trump's agenda was really just about helping the most vulnerable
the richest billionaires and richest corporations at the expense of kids who want to be fed and people who just want basic care on programs like Medicaid.
What's your response to that? We had one town hall in my district that we had room for about 150 people in the room. 500 people came and people left. Yeah, but a lot of people actually just stayed in the lobby of the building just to hear what we were saying and then came and talked to me afterwards. We have one tonight where we decided to increase the capacity of the room to 650, got a new venue.
And 800 signups, we had to close signups. And these are all real people. Not one of them is paid. And a few of them are even more than a few are Republicans, actually, who are really, really pissed off, to be honest. And so I think that that's, you know, he's got to say what he's got to say to cover his tracks. But he's not living in reality if that's what he actually thinks.
Yeah, someone once described the economy to me and the president's relationship to it as like a baseball manager and a baseball team where the manager can set the lineup, but they can't always hit, they can't always catch players. And but in this case, you know, this president has actually given us a lot of self inflicted wounds. You talk about the tariffs, for instance, and the threat of tariffs.
Now, private sector and the markets don't really want to make big investments right now. They're afraid of actually moving on, investing in the United States. A lot of business has come to a standstill here in Virginia. A lot of government contractors spend hundreds of thousands of millions. trying to implement government contracts.
And now they've been canceled overnight and they're never going to work with the government again. And they're trying to figure out where they are in this economy. But a lot of the disruption that's happened has directly led to this. And now you talk about getting rid of federal civil servants, scientists, workers who are very essential to our government's operations.
