At an open house in Fairbanks on Monday, Alaskan Congressman Nick Begich (R) told constituents that there was nothing he could do to stop agency budget cuts being implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk.
That begich is good. He just started and lied every time he opened his mouth. He can't help constituents because he doesn't want to. Pathetic he lets all these people suffer and lose their jobs.
He is a true believer in all the horse **** they've been fed on right-wing media. Faced with reality, he has nothing to say. Stop voting for these people!!
We must not downplay the fact that there are members of the House who are firmly in the musk/trump "cult". They are beyond hope and they will never do anything to actually address the concerns of their consitutents. How many of them is another concern.
Also, his phone in town hall was a sham. The questions he took were preselected and from the likes of Republican Party leaders. When one questioner that wasn’t a toady got through, there was a mysterious technical glitch that hung up the phone….
While we rightly wonder why the Democrats are not doing more—anything?—to push back against the mass government firings that have left us all less safe across so many areas, we have to put far more pressure on the party in power to end these illegal activities carried out by Team Musk. Republicans are doing absolutely nothing to help their constituents, much less the country as a whole.
It's hard to believe anything the Republicans say about Trump and Musk, but I can believe this freshman House member was given no notice about the layoffs of important positions in his own state. Trump and Musk are acting as though they are accountable to no one—and thus far, that appears to be the case. And had be been told, what would/could he have done?
I've long ago lost any hope that Republicans would stand up to Trump, so we are left waiting to see if the courts will be the last guardrail for our democracy. Given SCOTUS's ludicrous immunity ruling that kept Trump safe from prosecution last summer, I do not have a lot of confidence in John Roberts and the rest of the corrupt Republican-appointed judges to stop the Trump/Musk steamroller.
Nice observations. Roberts may surprise you though. He, like McConnell is a strong institutionalist. He probably resents Trump and Musk's attack on the judiciary.
Why are the/our Republicans such a bunch of corrupt cowardly liars...or are they just stupid...I am begining to think the later. They obviously don't have any understanding or knowledge of history or in some cas
The dude lied like a rug. If his constituents believe him then shame on them.
Hopefully Alaska will add him to the list of unemployed federal workers come the midterms.
one and done!
Fingers crossed

Time for Alaskans to realize they voted for the WRONG man. I have been saying that these Republicans KNEW Musk was going to do this.
This is Why Republicans are SO QUIET !!
They voted for THE MAN, period. They could have re-elected Mary Peltola, who would no way put up with any of this crap.
Sounds like the guy doesn’t work that much, but still collects a paycheck and healthcare benefits paid for by taxpayers.
The Russuglithans are all in this together. They are not innocent and fearful of Trump. They’ve probably been awarded with lifetime pillaging jobs 😡
Better believe they have!!
They all own this,

I have heard rumblings that Roberts may do the right thing. I holding onto that hope…for now.
And these people could have re-elected Mary Peltola. For penance, how about launching a recall petition?
What a useless twit. $88 million dollars to lost wages?! #savings /s
No will, no way. This fool clearly is happy to be a member of Congress yielding completely to Musk.
He's in for it!
What a shame. Too bad his constituents are powerless to help him keep his job!

Well, Alaska did have Sarah Palin as Governor once.
This needs to be put on repeat all the way to mid-terms. Daily.
Excellent idea to continue to put this out
