• Rep. Mike Flood faced a contentious town hall in Norfolk, Nebraska, where constituents criticized his defense of Republican policies on Medicaid, the Iran war, and economic issues amid rising consumer prices.
• Flood denounced the Department of Justice’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund,” expressing concerns about its fiscal conservatism and potential misuse, and called for congressional oversight before supporting it.
