Four House Republicans in New York have released a joint statement rejecting a $30,000 state and local tax cap, which is enough votes to stop Trump's entire agenda.
You’re right it doesn’t happen all the time, but it needs to happen more often. Now that they have some courage and they know that they can say no. They’re too afraid I guess of the revenge that King might inflict upon them. Big babies.
Help me to understand this- even if it’s for their wealthy constituents isn’t it best to “wreck” the big bill? How might these 4 perpetuate something more evil? Do you think this will influence other R’s to “cross the isle”?
You’re thinking like it’s going to do somebody good. Trust me, these Republicans are not interested in helping anyone except themselves. They are up to no good.
this is clearly just a PR stunt....they are Republicans. That means they will do as they are told. After a bit of BS posturing for constituents, they will vote as they are told to vote. Mindless, soulless cretins all. And incidentally, there is no such thing as a worm with a spine...no offense to the optimistic posters. Lucy always pulls the football away. I do hope I am wrong , but I bet a beer.
Absolutely 100%. I lived in Stefanik’s district for years until they re-zoned. There is not one good intention behind this woman or the other others. This is not good news because there is definitely bad intentions behind it.
Yes, they are speaking up and growing spine! As they did for us, we need to call the reps and let them know, we stand with them. People don't understand what they just put on the line. Be sure to let them know we got your back for doing the right thing.
Sadly, I think this is only a distraction to keep Americans from delving too deeply into the horrific specifics of the bill. They have every intention of voting yes but by the time the vote finally comes up, it will be far too late to stop it. Trump doesn't like seeing all of the protests and this is the solution.
Finally, some Republicans with a spine.
Relax. The rich Republicans who live in New York have been furious about the tax cap from the first millionaires tax cut.
This isn’t about courage. It’s about their rich constituents demanding a higher cap. Holding onto more of their money.
It’s ALWAYS about the rich.
These 4 are hardly brave. They’re complicit.
If they cut medicaid, I’m dead; it’s as simple as that.
I don’t care who did what. Kill the bill!
My sister too
Many Seniors agree! 💪🇺🇲🗽
I’ve been saying this from the beginning, they want a bunch of us dead.
And they certainly have no spine. What Rethuglican does?
Agreed, we wouldn’t be here in the first place without them. Tread carefully.
Not so much grown a spine trump just hit something that they benifit from is all.
Don’t count on it, yet.
It’s too early for congratulations. They’ll cave. Just wait.
When it hits them directly in the pocketbook. They still want to slash Medicaid, etc. because that does not affect them.
We’ll see. He hasn’t started threatening their children or grandmothers yet
That took a long time to grow a spine I'm telling you... Still cowards
Let’s see if it holds.
Hmmm
Great to get some good news. That doesn’t happen often these days.
You’re right it doesn’t happen all the time, but it needs to happen more often. Now that they have some courage and they know that they can say no. They’re too afraid I guess of the revenge that King might inflict upon them. Big babies.
Thank you very much.
Republican intra-party rebellion can't come soon enough!
I don’t believe it is with good intentions because I know Stefanik and I know Lawler. They are the worst of the worst. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE!!!

I do speculate if this is a ploy/evil plot…
Why do people like that get elected?
John, you'll win that bet - EASY.
Way to go New Yorkers, now come on Republicans grow a spine and reign in control of this ROGUE president.
Spell check does it again. Let's rein in the GOP horses that are running away with our government and restore justice.
I heard someone say they hope he chokes on his hamburger 🍔🍟🍔🍟. Truth to corruption.
I heard someone say “It’s not so much that I don’t like trump but I’d unplug his life support to charge my phone.”🤣cracked me up!
Adding that to our newly elected progressive Pope, I think we’re doing good today🙌🙌🙌

Oh! Please let it be👍🇺🇸
You know this is a false alarm. They'll slither to yes.
Always, and especially these four who I know too well.

They have a backbone!
No. They’re just trying to save their seats.
Somebody needs to kill it. I don’t really care who, but it would be fitting if it were the GOP.
I hope to gods these four have the guts to kill it. Stop the wholesale destruction of our country!!!
Do it!!
