Republican lawmakers who initially supported President Donald Trump’s spending cuts and tariffs are now pushing back as these policies begin to affect their constituents. Seniors in an affluent South Carolina community have been targeted by crypto scammers, resulting in significant financial losses. Additionally, Valentine’s Day treats may contain more filling and less chocolate this year due to adverse weather affecting cacao-growing regions in West Africa.
Specific examples of Republican lawmakers voicing opposition to Trump’s policies include Sen. Katie Britt of Alabama, who pushed back on funding restrictions for the National Institutes of Health, and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana who criticized cuts to NIH funding. Other Republicans, like senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul of Kentucky, have called out Trump’s plans to impose tariffs.
The House Budget Committee will consider a budget resolution from House Republicans that includes tax cuts, spending reductions, and raising the debt limit. The Trump administration is also engaged in politics news, including discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin about ending the war in Ukraine.
Furthermore, Linda McMahon, Trump’s nominee for education secretary, is facing questioning from the Senate committee about her policy stances and past record at WWE. Meanwhile, seniors in various states are falling victim to crypto scams, highlighting the need for increased consumer protection, especially with the rise of crypto kiosks across the country. Lastly, the rising costs of cocoa due to weather-related challenges in West Africa are impacting the production of Valentine’s chocolates, leading to higher prices and more filler ingredients being used.
