And their constituents are not happy with the direction that Trump's cabinet picks point to, or with the things they've belatedly found out about tariffs, or the way that Trump is taunting our allies and destroying our relationship with Canada, and how Trump has come out and said he won't be bringing down prices after all.

Cue Donald Trump and Elon Musk having days, weeks, and months long temper tantrums over being told “No!” In 3…2…1…0.

[@Jamesamong007]

I hope they get told no to everything they want to do.

[@gogurl2970]

@@DylanBowlin-zc2ln Elon is not even gonna know what to do with himself. I don’t think he’s ever got this kind of backlash from America correct me if I’m wrong.

Enough is enough has finally arrived! Keep it up and let’s work together. Negotiations are a healthy way to solve problems. Yea to all who stood up to Musk and Trump.

[@Joeseph-i1e]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Donald Trump is just a puppet In Elon Musk eyes. This man is a joke. And all the world leaders are looking laughing at him. And the American people to. Who voted for this joker.

[@tomhammer1784]

Yep…they need to embarrass the hell out of him.

[@BS-stupe]

Is this what would be considered "the art of the deal".

[@constancehaase352]

Thank you, Chip, for speaking up. So many republicans are in agreeance!

About time they stand up to the insanity even if it is only for today. Stop lying Mike.

[@anl1456]

The dept ceiling has nothing to do with future spending it only to pay the bill for the money that’s already spent If you don’t pay the bill the credit rating will go down and the interest in the future will be more on the money that you borrow

[@RupertLaLageIV]

Remember how the Magagops always made fun of President Biden when he stuttered? Well... What's up with little Mikey? Is he stuttering because he hasn't had his bowl of L.I.E. cereal yet? Or is he just worried that he will end up in a workhouse, or debtor's prison, if he fails his dear leader? Unmerry X-Musk, Mikey!

[@pjbraine2289]

Thank you for your "Fireside Chat" with Biden at the White House. Thrilled you did this. My dream is that you continue these, please. At least two more and maybe with Kamala, Tim Walz, Bernie Sanders, Liz Cheney and others we need to hear from, to encourage us who live in fear of Jan 20th.... & keep us engaged speak truth to power.

[@johardy8512]

Wonderful interview with President Biden. I just had an obviously hoax 'newsflash' in uk, saying that President Biden has dementia and it has been hidden for four years??? It is so very scary to have to be careful what to read and believe. There must be millions who cannot figure out what is a LIE and a CON. Scary times.

[@lizgardner8287]

Great interview Ben

[@18eartotheground88]

Tell President Musk and his First Lady Trump what a great job they are doing. NOT!!!!

Grateful to the 38 Republicans with integrity and guts. We appreciate you

[@user-rr9lv9ll4x]

Keep it up. Tell us how we can help.

[@regigill7186]

Let's not go overboard now. They have to do a lot more standing up to trump to earn back their integrity.

[@ccvan-eo3db]

@regigill7186 true but I'll take what I can get in.

I don't trust them either, but they fight amongst each other for power. They are going to make it easier, for us Democrats. Evil mix with Evil never work or win. They can't make decisions.

[@KevinMorland-o3c]

More importantly the no vote was the right thing to do . 38 Republicans took a stand and stood their ground impressive given what MAGA will now bring their way. Restores a little faith in Republican representatives maybe America is not as far gone as it seemed. The first show of integrity for a longtime.

[@mjudson4338]

Let's see how long it lasts.

[@feedyoureyes]

The fever is breaking.🎉

[@crapshot321]

Also, they have to show something to the people back home for the midterms. Remember, Trump doesn't have to care about reelection, the representatives do.

[@andersonb8925]

Meidas, great reporting as always... hopefully come January when the stuff hits the fan, these same 38 and more will hold their feet to the fire on behalf of the American people
