Wittman can go fuck himself. I called after the vote and asked the woman who answered the phone if he listens to the people in his district before votes. She said he did. I called her on it because 8/10 comments on every single post he makes on social media shows people hated this bill. And the health care bills he voted for.
I'm seeing a bunch of tweets that say the parliamentarian ruled out two provisions so the House will have to vote again with those removed. Messy. The two provisions are the Cruz 529-for-homeschool and exemption from endowment tax for tiny colleges.

Lmfao. Remember how I said before I thought they would vote in the Senate first to avoid this?? Such amateur hour I can't even.
Those CA districts are pretty red. I'm not super surprised.
Yeah, California Red is really strong red. Remember, Nunes is a CA Red. Not a lot of moderation there. He's actually pretty close to the norm once you get inland and away from the "coastal elite."
I wouldn't count on that. My rep is Calvert, and I've never seen so much anger and unrest at him. Even Republicans have grown to hate him. There are a lot of moderate Republicans in our Indivisible group that can't stand him.

I remember you saying this that was why I was surprised the house voted first.

I am super surprised the Senate didn’t vote first. House almost always does when voting on conference bills but in this case with how rushed it was and how much of a mess it’s been it’s kind of shocking they didn’t protect themselves against this outcome.
When you call House members to yell at them after this is all said and done PLEASE reference how they voted on this monstrosity not once but TWICE. Do it for me. It’s too good.

same with my rep, Mimi Walters. She has consistently voted for her self-interests against constituents’ interestets. There have been numerous protests at her IRVINE office since the election. So far, there have been several strong Dem new opponents that have stepped forward to run against her.
She is sending out mailers saying that she’s under attack by the Dems and recently had commercials promoting the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
My indivisible group had a lot of posters saying the people answering the phones in her DC office weren’t even taking their names or zip codes when they called this week.
I know there have also been many protests in HB against Rohrabacher as well.

Yeah, my hometown rep is Devin Nunes. There are plenty of folks who are pissed at him. But there are also (judging by community comments and my good old family) plenty who will vote for him or any R over a D any day of the week. And what really frosts me is that a pretty good percentage of them are "build a wall and make them come the right way like my family did" Latinx. And I can guaran-damn-tee that a good percentage of *those* folks either came here pre-quota or were sponsored by someone who was...or just as likely are the children of immigrants who *came* here legally (agriculture visas) but overstayed their visas because they wanted better lives for their kids, and then the kids were born as citizens "the right way." But heaven help those who come *after* them the same way. Go home and do it right, even if you were brought here as a kid.
Republicans went from hating Donald Trump in the primaries, to subordinating themselves to him when he got to the White House, to ride or die defending him on Russiagate to breaking him off $1 million of their bank heist as they robbed the country together.
There’s a sadness in the air- a sense of reckoning of what our gov’t has become under Trump. There’s never been a more blatant, self-serving piece of legislation so opposed by American people, and so fiscally irresponsible. American people are screaming “no” but they don’t care.

Now that they broke the ACA by repealing the individual mandate they're claiming they HAVE to repeal the rest of it because it won't work anymore! FML.
