#fl-10

Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN-05) is one of a dwindling number of Republican House members to hold town hall meetings with constituents. The one she held on Friday in a suburb of Indianapolis went about as you would expect.

Less daring than Rep. Spartz is Rep. John James (R-MI-10). Like most House Republicans, Rep. James is hiding from his constituents. So Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10) are holding a town hall in Michigan's 10th so that James's constituents will be able to voice their concerns to elected officials in the federal government.

Republican congressman from Michigan won’t meet with voters—so Dems are doing it for him 

Contrary to what you may hear from lazy pundits and Trump-friendly media, Democrats are fighting back. It's Republicans who are in disarray over the cover-up of Donald Trump's long involvement with convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

In the exchange above at a House Oversight Committee meeting, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10) took no shit from Rep. Clay Higgins (Racist-LA-03).

Louisiana has one of the highest crime rates in the US. Yet Higgins spews the fetid MAGA bullshit about Washington, DC being overrun by criminals. Of course if he had been talking about 06 January 2021 I would certainly concede that one day to his characterization.

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10) spoke with Jen Psaki about the so called "Big Beautiful Bill" which is designed to make Americans sick and hungry so that billionaire broligarchs can aggrandize even further.

If you live near your GOP US Representative's district office, pay a visit there Wednesday to peacefully but emphatically express your opposition to this bill. Calling or emailing Reps never works, they will ignore you (sorry, but true!). Every US Rep has one or more home district offices. If you are represented by a Republican, look up the local office address and make your feelings known to the staff there in person.

Forget arguments over policy. Let your GOP Rep know that he or she should worry a lot more about the November 2026 general election than getting a primary challenge from some MAGA loser.

At 28, Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL-10) is the youngest member of Congress. He talks a tremendous amount of sense in this 5-minute vid.

U.S. House Rep Bill Young (R-FL) is not exactly what you’d call a ‘people person,’ particularly when it comes to dealing with tough questions from constituents. Remember his response to a young man asking if he would support a House bill that raises the minimum wage to $10? He cheerfully responded, “Probably not.” The young man politely persisted, “Would $10 not give us a living wage?” to which the Congressman, less cheerfully, replied, “How ‘bout getting a job?”

Maybe it’s the fact that he’s about to turn 82 (on December 16) that has Young so on edge as of late. Or maybe it’s the edge of the ‘fiscal cliff.’

One week ago, Young spoke at the Tiger Bay Club’s luncheon, where he reiterated his hard stance on his refusal to raise taxes under any circumstances. According to Tampa Bay, FL’s Creative Loafing, Young said, “I did sign [Grover Norquist’s] pledge. I am really opposed to raising taxes when I know the money is going to be spent and not be used to deal with the budget deficit.”

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Young arrived at his office as it was closing, in the company of St. Petersburg College police officers and staff members, including his chief of staff, Harry Glenn. One of the louder protesters got a bit too close to Young, and so the congressman grabbed him by the arm and brandished his walking cane as if to strike the activist. Both were separated by police officers before the incident escalated to blows.

And while witnesses say Young was the first to get physical, the Congressman insists the protester was the aggressor. Young’s attorney, David Jolly, on Wednesday told Peter Schorsch of the Saint Peters Blog, “[The accuser] is a young man with a history of violating the law who has been physically following the Congressman for months. In the coming days counsel will be reviewing whether his activities rise to the level of stalking, assault, or tortuous harassment of any kind.”

And Young is ‘sticking’ to his story.
