“Along the winding back roads and Appalachian hollers of West Virginia, in a state where Trump won 70% of the votes cast in November, his administration's vow to cut back on government spending is being keenly felt.”

Trump funding cuts ripple through rural America
The phone rang over the whine of Trey Yates' butter churn. The person calling was polite, but the message was devastating: Mountaineer Food Bank was ending Yates' butter contract, due to the federal government's funding cuts.

You need to be on the phone with your reps daily. If you need help knowing what to say when you call, follow @jesscraven101.bsky.social. What Tr*mp did to our ally Ukraine is deeply unpopular with Republicans, and they need to be flooded with calls from their constituents outraged over this betrayal
2/28 Call all 3 reps about that INSANE Oval Office meeting 202-224-3121
Hi, I'm a constituent calling from [zip]. My name is Trump and Vance's Oval Office meeting with President Zelensky today was a major embarrassment, and totally horrifying. The way Trump and Vance spoke to Zelensky was disrespectful, condescending and antagonistic. It was clear they were using Russian government talking points. We look like imbeciles on the world stage, and, more importantly, like a country that is fully in league with Vladimir Putin. Trump's fealty to Putin and Russ dangerous and unacceptable. I stand with Ukraine want the Senator/Congressmember to make a staten, saying that s/he does as well. We are either for freedom and democracy or we are not. Which side is s/he on?
Thanks.

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.
