900 ignore winter storm, show up for Duluth town hall gathering

A town hall organized by Practicing Democracy took place on a Saturday in Duluth, Minnesota, drawing approximately 900 attendees who voiced concerns about the actions of President Trump and Elon Musk.
The town hall was prompted by concerns over potential cuts impacting the district, including those to the USPS and EPA, as well as Trump and Musk's efforts to reshape the federal government.
Residents and workers gathered at protests, including one outside Congressman Stauber's office on March 19, and another outside the EPA lab in Duluth on March 25, raising concerns about the effects of new policies, the Department of Government Efficiency, and potential reductions in federal funding.
During this period, Jim Barott held a sign stating "STAUBER is MIA" at a rally against USPS cuts on March 23, while Stauber defended his reliance on telephone town halls, stating, "We've been doing them- telephone town halls- for six and a half years, and they're popular."
Despite being invited, Congressman Stauber did not attend the town hall, citing it was organized by left-wing extremists, and continued to utilize telephone town halls, while critics voiced concerns about his accessibility and responsiveness to the needs of his constituents and potential federal cuts in his district.
