Republican lawmakers across the country are facing growing backlash from their constituents as the impacts of moves by the Trump administration and DOGE hit home. Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., shares her thoughts on sweeping job cuts by the administration, new polls on how the public views President Trump’s term so far, and more.
