This is from Josh Hawley?

“When the judge issues a binding order within their jurisdiction, then that needs to be followed. And even if it’s frustrating….” - Josh Hawley.

Hawley defending the Judiciary Branch and not Trump after a Federal Judge ruled against Trump in the unfreezing funds.

Wait, what! Josh Hawley has a backbone? Nope, but he knows the law and I would not be surprised he changes his tune after Trump insists him to?

1. Josh Hawley, Bernie Sanders propose capping credit card interest rates at 10%

https://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/josh-hawley-bernie-sanders-propose-capping-credit-card-interest-rates-10

A new bipartisan bill introduced by a pair of senators would cap credit card interest rates in an effort to help consumers and fulfill one of President Donald Trump's campaign promises.

Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., introduced legislation that would cap credit interest rates at 10% immediately upon the bill's enactment into law. The cap would then remain in effect for five years.

"During the campaign, President Trump pledged to cap credit card interest rates at 10%," Sanders said in a statement. "Today, I am proud to be introducing bipartisan legislation with Senator Hawley to do just that."

"When large financial institutions charge over 25% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of making credit available. They are engaged in extortion and loan sharking," Sanders added. "We cannot continue to allow big banks to make huge profits ripping off the American people."

11. Hawley's a vacillating little dipshit hedging his fascist bets

just in case President Afro-Nazi and his sidekick, Fat Donnie, get hoist on their own petards.

Also, he's come to realize that American MAGA fascism is fickle and might quickly turn on him with its huge toothy mouth and bite him in his scrawny MAGA butt on an unprovoked whim.

16. +1

2. Sen Susan Collins--R, Maine said the same.

4. Oh dear

She is concerned?

3. Maybe those Missouri farmers are calling him

From the Missouri Agriculture website

“Agriculture is Missouri’s top economic driver and employs nearly 460,000 people across the state. We are home to almost 88,000 farms, averaging 308 acres each.”

5. It's so cute when the Littlest Insurrectionist starts acting all "American"!

Like flares thrown out by a plane under missile attack - decoys. In this case the decoys are intended to say "No,no, not me! I don't blow Trump every fucking day! I'm a principled conservative!!"

6. vance suppossedly is a lawyer too, yet he is right in front disparaging the courts.

[GoCubsGo]

7. Maybe he realized the leopard is about to eat his and the Senate's face, too.

Perhaps Mr. Hawley finally understands that ceding any power they had over to Trump, as they have been, is leaving themselves impotent. I think he's just trying to save his own ass. No need for a Senate or Senators when you have a dictator.

8. He was just re-elected -- 6 years till he runs again. Mango's threat of a primary means nothing...

Unless they have real Kompromat that would get him incarcerated -- BOth Hawley and Cruz have 6 years before a primary, so they could actually do the right thing.

I will not hold my breath waiting for these two opportunistic asshats and sycophants to do the right thing, but it is actually a political (if not real world) possibility.

9. Well, to be fair, Hawley has shown that if the MAGA mob comes after him he can outrun them.

Shocking to hear him say something that doesn't involve kissing Trump's behind though.

[kkmarie]

13. Maybe he's just upset

That he wasn't selected for a cabinet position.

[surfered]

10. He's not running away?

12. Link? I can't find him saying this recently

18. CNN had it in a "live update" thing with his and others' reactions

Some lawmakers defend role of federal courts as judges issue orders on Trump actions
From CNN’s Elise Hammond, Manu Raju, Haley Talbot, Ali Main, Ted Barrett and Aileen Graef

As court rulings have blocked some of the Trump administration’s agenda, some lawmakers are weighing in on the role of the judiciary. Judges issued recent court orders for several of Donald Trump’s recent actions, including the deadline for mass federal resignations, a bid to end birthright citizenship, and a move to place thousands of workers at the US Agency for International Development on leave.

It all comes after Vice President JD Vance questioned whether judges can block any of Trump’s agenda. “If a judge tried to tell a general how to conduct a military operation, that would be illegal,” Vance said in a post on X over the weekend. “If a judge tried to command the attorney general in how to use her discretion as a prosecutor that’s also illegal. Judges aren’t allowed to control the executive’s legitimate power.”

Here’s how some lawmakers are reacting:

Republican Sen. Josh Hawley said that he believes the Trump administration will ultimately comply with court rulings, and he believes they should. “When the judge issues a binding order within their jurisdiction, then that needs to be followed. And even if it’s frustrating, part of that, you can follow and still say you think it’s wrong,” he said.

19. Thx

[mountain grammy]

14. He's getting calls and emails

From constituents. Keep it up people!! The heat is on!

[paleotn]

15. Not up for reelection anytime soon.

Interesting. Susan Collins certainly is up for reelection, she's saying the same things, is very, very "concerned" as usual. Maine needs to step up and send her home to the grand kids permanently.

[Just Jerome]

17. Backbone?

Josh Hawley?
That was a good’n

Yeah, my senator is just a little punk with a Yale sheepskin.
As do so many of them over there, he watches out for #1.
