I think there is no better feeling than the five minutes immediately following a long & painful headache. Just pure unadulterated bliss.

If you haven’t read Arthur Miller’s The Crucible in a while you probably should because it’s a timely allegory.

Goodnight.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!
