On April 15, tens of thousands plan to take to the streets in protest of the president’s refusal to release his tax returns to the public. Some worry Trump is hiding financial ties to Russia. Others want to understand all the conflicts of interest that flow from his failure to divest from his business interests. Twenty thousand people say they’re going to a Los Angeles protest. Eleven thousand are signed up to attend in New York City. Folks will protest in Boise, Indianapolis, St. Louis, Raleigh, Pittsburgh, Knoxville, Salt Lake City, and other municipalities throughout the U.S.
And this week, the movement got a new champion and 23 new targets for ire.
The amendment was rejected on a party-line vote by these 23 Republicans (the ones with asterisks next to their names represent relatively competitive districts; the others are thought to be in “safe seats” for the GOP, and only vulnerable in primaries):
Kevin Brady of Texas
Sam Johnson of Texas
Devin Nunes of California
Pat Tiberi of Ohio
Dave Reichert of Washington*
Peter Roskam of Illinois*
Vern Buchanan of Florida
Adrian Smith of Nebraska
Lynn Jenkins of Kansas
Erik Paulsen of Minnesota*
Kenny Marchant of Texas
Diane Black of Tennessee
Tom Reed of New York
Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania
Jim Renacci of Ohio
Pat Meehan of Pennsylvania*
Kristi Noem of South Dakota
George Holding of North Carolina
Jason Smith of Missouri
Tom Rice of South Carolina
David Schweikert of Arizona
Jackie Walorski of Indiana
Carlos Curbelo of Florida*
