We need our senators to choose Missouri over MAGA in Trump’s war on the Constitution By Bridgette Dunlap “What an actual ‘constitutional conservative’ would have said is: ‘These funds have been allocated by Congress and the president is not free to take any of them from my constituents. Withholding those funds violates the Constitution’s separation of powers, the Impoundment Control Act, and many contracts that the government has entered into with Missourians. I’m all for spending cuts, but the Constitution requires that they go through Congress.’” “Hawley…is cheerleading for his own impotence as he abandons Missourians.” “Our purportedly ‘pro-life’ senator is fully on board with Trump and Musk leaving nearly half a billion dollars of food intended for starving people – some of it bought from Missouri farmers – to rot or be stolen. Hawley is in full support of the usurpation of his authority that is causing hundreds of babies a day to be born with HIV for lack of treatment that Congress already funded.” “Hawley’s endorsement of pulling the plug on programs like these without notice requires a horrifying indifference to human life.” “If Schmitt and Hawley follow the news in Missouri, they should know how much suffering has already resulted from Missouri’s abject failure to get federal funds to their recipients. This is a longstanding failure that has caused our day cares to close and children to be hospitalized due to lack of treatment for manageable conditions.” “Schmitt and Hawley have also shown total disdain for the tens of thousands of Missourians who work for the government.” “Trump and Musk don’t care about the upheaval they are causing. They have never endured a nanosecond of fear about being able to pay a mortgage or take care of kids. The livelihoods and dignity of their employees in Missouri mean nothing to them. Schmitt, Hawley and all our Republican House members need to care. Their job is not to please the president and other billionaires. Their job is to represent Missouri’s interests.” https://missouriindependent.com/2025/02/17/we-need-our-senators-to-choose-missouri-over-maga-in-trumps-war-on-the-constitution/ Disregard the following link. https://dl-rapidbot.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/attachments/1/09d3/90df/09d390df-b805-4133-b9e0-362fabf9acd4.php
