Republican Rep. Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin wrote a letter urging his state's Democratic governor to take steps to protect rural hospitals from the fallout of Republicans' widely reviled budget bill " which Van Orden voted for. Van Orden's urgent letter, which was dated Wednesday ahead of the bill's Thursday passage, added to the list of Republicans who have effectively acknowledged the legitimacy of widespread fears that Republicans' Trump-backed budget will harm some of the most vulnerable Americans " even as many Republicans have suggested it won't.

Their constituency is the Uber Wealthy.

The rest of the people are an afterthought at most.

He voted for the bill because it's what the party wanted and he lacked the courage to Stand Up.

Now he wants the Governor shield his state from the Worst of the fallout.

Blowback is coming...ICE and Repression will become the new normal..for Citizens...not just migrants.

The Worst is yet to come.

Trump will use protests as an excuse to Cancel midterm elections.

It's getting uglier by the day.

Hmmmmmm.

I was told by MAGA yesterday that rural hospitals need feel no fear.

I guess that this Republican legislator never got the same memo.

Let me guess:

Unless the Democratic governor doesn't undo what the MAGA Rep did he's going to be damned as someone who does not care about sick people?

The message, whole and entire, of the BBB is that MAGA wants sick people to get sicker and die.

Which they are going to do.
