Good on Flood for standing up for spending cuts—government overreach is the real problem, not the people keeping their own money.
Glad to see people showing up and holding Flood accountable—politicians shouldn’t get a free pass when they push harmful budget cuts and defend billionaires over working people. Hopefully, this kind of pressure makes them rethink siding with Trump and Musk instead of their own constituents.
