Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) nicely framed Musk and Trump’s actions as harmful attacks on Americans made while their enablers, like Speaker Mike Johnson, partied and pretended otherwise.
As an aide held up a photo of Speaker Mike Johnson partying with Donald and Melania Trump, Stansbury noted that Johnson had told the media that the Musk/Trump funding freezes wouldn’t hurt real Americans.
“Millions of real Americans were sent into total chaos, and our states had to go to the courts to shut down your federal funding freeze,” Stansbury said.
She went on to lay out the damage, then pinned it squarely on the shocking and cavalier malfeasance of Unelected President Elon Musk and Golfing Puppet Donald Trump:
STANSBURY: While Trump was golfing, the Medicaid systems were shut down and locked out. Hospitals and clinics were wondering if they were going to be able to keep their doors open. Food assistance and homeless programs across New Mexico were shut out of their grant programs that keep families literally fed and off the streets. Head Starts, preschools and children's programs were wondering if they were going to be able to make payroll the next day or by the end of the week.
