9. Good - and her voters need to know

Thu Mar 13, 2025, 03:56 PM

Mar 2025

She's voting for an extension of the 2017 Jobs and Tax cut act.

The one that put a cap on the SALT deduction.

During the TEA Party years - their politicians trembled at the sight or sound of them. She doesn't fear her voters. Now is a good time for the grass roots to find a primary challenger.

She doesn't get it. I'm 100% onboard with a shut down. We are at least 50% of the way there.
