Another Republican congressman has provoked fury from fired federal workers by telling them that "God has a plan" for their lives. At a town hall meeting in Missouri Monday, GOP representative Mark Alford drew angry shouts of opposition from a dozens-strong crowd as he tried to defend Donald Trump sweeping government cutbacks. It was the latest in a series of riotous town halls in red districts across the U.S. where voters expressed their frustration about Trump's policies, as well as the influence of Elon Musk. Those reports " encompassing Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, Wisconsin, and beyond " were a sign of gathering anger at Trump's radical seizure of power and near-demolition of entire government departments.
