If there is Dem follow through on this strategy over the next 18 months, I would be in favor of it
Leader Jeffries' speech is going through districts represented by vulnerable Republicans one by one reading letters from their constituents the relate personal stories about Medicaid and other programs that will be cut by the bill. He's going through them methodically and naming the members https://bsky.app/profile/fritschner.bsky.social/post/3lt2gvujdls2v I think Jeffries has dropped the ball (and probably taken the lead of Schumer way too much) over the last several months, but this is why people vote for their reps. And republicans are abandoning many people who voted for them.
