🚂

 As I’ve said before:

According to a report from Reese Gorman of NOTUS, members of the GOP caucus are being forced to deal with an onslaught of complaints from constituents about the president's moves or, as one congressional aide colorfully put it, hometown voters are "s------- Twinkies." 
As the report notes, Trump's "chaotic governing style" is causing members of his own party no small amount of grief, because they are not being provided with talking points or detailed explanations to quell constituent fears and complaints. 
"More than half a dozen GOP members and staffers told NOTUS that Trump’s sudden moves have yielded thousands of questions from distressed constituents, with congressional offices receiving an unusual influx of calls and emails in response to the president’s executive orders," Gorman reported before adding one GOP aide said of the Trump White House, "They need to get their s--- together.” 
The report notes that the president has shown little concern or compassion for his caucus when making controversial decisions such as setting even the most violent of the Jan. 6 free from jail to shuttering government departments with no notice. 
"A number of Republicans have expressed concern to the White House about the lack of communication, two sources told NOTUS," Gorman explained. 
According to one Republican who didn't want to identified in the piece, the Trump White House seems incapable of understanding “the breadth of what they are trying to do," before warning they are, "Burning up political goodwill at an alarming rate."
Trump’s never had a Board of Directors. The only oversight he’s ever had was his father trying to bailout his Atlantic City casino.

I’m not saying Congress is going to 25th amendment him, or even impeach him. But he’s hurtling toward a Democratic Congress in 2026, like a runaway freight train.
