that are in districts where they now know, especially with the success we had, not just in Wisconsin, but even in narrowing the gap in heavily Republican districts as we did in Florida, there are people that are in Congress right now who are seeing their chances of reelection go further and further down as they continue to stand with Trump and Musk.

The more we pressure people like that to change their votes, the more likely we are to be able to stop them from gutting Medicaid, from continuing to put tariffs that raise prices, from gutting Social Security and the other things that are in their crosshairs, all to give perhaps some of the historic largest tax cuts to the wealthiest in our country.

No, I mean, look, this is everything they're saying is a is factually you can show it's a law. This is not about ending government corruption. They have taken out Inspector General's. They have taken down rules to stop corruption. They've opened up more corruption, starting with the president himself, who's violating the emoluments codes. This is not a government efficiency.

They've done things to dismantle things that created more transparency and efficiency in government operations. And as you just said, it's not about lowering government spending.

But on top of that, they're taking important government work like the ATF. They're dismantling the ATF and redirecting those resources towards their immigration efforts, which, again, are not going after the violent criminals.
