Candid answer - as someone who handled constituent affairs calls for years - while they’re not checking the phone right now, the urgency of the moment is important.
Show them you care enough to make the weekend call, and be counted that way. Staffers will clock and report this upstream.

Is there actually a benefit to leaving a VM now vs getting a staffer on Monday? Can do both but just curious

Happening now: several hundred people are pouring into Chicago's downtown Federal Plaza.
It's 25 degrees outside.
Organizers are leading the crowd in a chant of, "no boots on the ground, no bombs in the air!"
Two protesters hold a large banner reading, "no war for Venezuela oil."

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

Schumer: “I was in the SCIF on 3 different occasions … I asked them: Are you pursuing regime change? Are you intent on taking military action in Venezuela?"
“And they are assured me they are not pursuing those things”

VP Delcy Rodriguez, whom Trump indicated earlier today was collaborating with the US government, is live on television right now.
Earlier reports that she's in Russia are false. She's in Caracas with the rest of the cabinet.
Rodriguez: "We will never again be a colony for any empire"

Trump and his cronies can try to dress this up, but it is an illegal act of war to replace Maduro and grab Venezuela's oil for his billionaire buddies.

Trump has burned our standing to ash. After this, we cannot condemn Putin in Ukraine or block China from Taiwan. Power without law is rot. The light we claimed for democracy is shattered. This was the straw that broke us. We have entered the darkest reflection of ourselves. #TrumpRegime

Maduro was not "captured".
He was kidnapped, abducted, criminally and illegally taken. Words matter.

Yes it is but it’s important for you and fellow Canadians to understand that the US is no longer governed by laws and the ruling party and its leader will do whatever they want. They could bomb Toronto tonight and not have any negative legal or political consequences here.

Don’t be fooled: you can’t both claim this was simply the execution of an arrest warrant AND say the U.S. is now "running" Venezuela & grabbing its oil resources.
Trump just admitted this was a clear regime-change play to enrich U.S. oil companies & his billionaire buddies.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"
