The New Republic | “Slush Fund for Crooks”: Republican Town Hall Goes Off the Rails by Malcolm Ferguson
AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.
Representative Mike Flood’s town‑hall in Norfolk, Nebraska, devolved into a heated showdown as constituents blasted him over a litany of issues—including the costly war in Iran, a proposed “slush fund” to reward Trump supporters, the unresolved release of Jeffrey Epstein files, and plans to fund extravagant White House projects such as a ballroom renovation. Voters accused Flood of protecting “pedophiles” and the Trump‑aligned DOJ, while demanding accountability for the $1.8 billion fund meant for people who assaulted police on Jan. 6. Flood defended a hawkish stance on Iran, argued for congressional oversight of the fund, and insisted that a law to release the Epstein documents had been passed, but his responses were met with boos, jeers, and broader frustration over perceived corruption, endless foreign conflicts, and rising living‑cost pressures.

'Severe pushback': #HouseRepublicans fear constituent revolt over divisive new proposal
by Carl Gibson, 8/13/2025
"House Republicans are now pondering whether to pursue another major legislative push involving #Medicaid later this year, just months after narrowly passing President Donald #Trump's massive tax and spending policy. But some are hesitant out of fear for how their constituents would react.
"Politico reported Wednesday that the Republican Study Committee (RSC) – which is made up of 189 Republican members of Congress — has invited a controversial figure to its Thursday meeting that suggests the GOP may make even steeper cuts to Medicaid this year or in early 2026. According to the outlet, #ParagonHealth Institute president #BrianBlase, who is credited as the architect of Republicans' Medicaid cuts in the #OneBigBeautifulBillAct, to this week's meeting.
"Blase's address to the RSC comes as Republicans plot whether to embark on another legislative crusade before the end of the year, even though the tax and spending bill almost failed to pass despite Republican majorities in both chambers of Congress. While no official details have emerged, Politico reported that Blase's invitation likely means that future Medicaid cuts could be on the table.
"Changes to Medicare may also be included in the conversation, as Blase will be accompanied by #DemetriousKouzoukas, who leads Paragon's Medicare Reform Initiative. According to its website, Paragon is focused on changes to #Medicare and #Medicaid policy, and its leadership and board have numerous ties to #FarRight policy groups like the #HeritageFoundation (which created #Project2025) and the #FederalistSociety.
"Not all Republicans are on board with another divisive vote on additional Medicaid cuts. Rep. #MikeFlood (R-Neb.) reportedly warned that there would be
'#SeverePushback' against any attempt to impose new cuts to the popular program that provides health insurance to #LowIncome and #disabled Americans."Politico's Benjamin Guggenheim and Meredith Lee Hill also reported that there is little appetite for another bitter legislative battle given the work House Republicans are facing when they return to Washington after Labor Day. They wrote: 'A major fight over government funding looms, as well as the expiration of the #ACATaxCredits — which could lead to drastic hikes in some Americans’ #HealthInsurance premiums.' "

Last week, Rep. #MikeFlood (R-NB) admitted during a town hall in his district that he did not know that the bill would limit #judges’ #power to hold people in #contempt for violating court orders. He would not have voted for the measure, he said, if he had realized.
And as lawmakers returned to DC on Tues after their week off, Rep. #MarjorieTaylorGreene (R-GA) said that she had been unaware that the mega-bill she voted for would block states from regulating #AI for a decade.

#MikeFlood is a #BananaRepublican clown 🤡 Congressman from #Nebraska who slipped on a ‘big beautiful banana 🍌 bill’ that he himself voted for, not knowing how ‘slippery’ it was (on the downward slope to #fascism and #bankruptcy.)
When he tried to explain his act to his constituents at a #TownHall they did what the audience is conditioned to know when a clown performs, they laughed at him!

Columbus NE is deep RED, in a red state. Like over 90% voted for Trump. To see them going at Flood like this is just bananas.
Never thought I would hear “TAX THE RICH” at a GOP town hall, but here we are.
Apparently Don Bacon’s town hall will be virtual 😂
