Members of Congress get better polling data than we do, so watch what they’re doing.
Marjorie Taylor Greene announced she’s leaving Congress. Troy Nehls, the Texas Republican who said “if Trump says jump, we jump,” announced he’s leaving too. Both the House and Senate are now demanding answers from Hegseth about the boat killings. And brand-new Gallup data through Thanksgiving week has Trump at 36% approval, his lowest since January 6, 2021, with independents at 25%.
The people with the best data are heading for the exits and finally feel safe enough to ask hard questions. That tells you something the public polls don’t.
Call your representative. Demand they join the bipartisan push for accountability on the boat attacks. Both chambers are moving. Make sure yours is too. We have links to 5calls and Resistbot at the site and in the email.
