Spending impact

To: Sen. Britt, Sen. Tuberville

From: A constituent in Birmingham, AL

July 17

It took Hitler 53 days to legally dismantle the constitution. He started with silencing the media and "othering" his political opponents. He started by changing his and where elections happened. The idea that we have enough money to fund ICE more than most countries give their entire military but Elmo is your line in the sand makes you nothing but a jester happily dancing to Trump's tune. The fact that you don't see the restriction of public information to our rural, most vulnerable areas in conjunction with his attempts to "examine" the integrity of ballot machines and restriction on how people can vote in midterms makes you either weeknight blind or complicit. You don't get to break a vase then get credit for duct taping it back together- what you've cost us in the "big beautiful bill" can't be bought back by cutting the way we learn whether or not a tornado is about to tear through our homes. And pretending your actions won't have long reading consequences is irresponsible at best. We're living in 1930's Germany, and you sat at the table and said nothing.
