Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

History has taught us that this is precisely when Donald Trump is most dangerous — and when Republicans turn to voter suppression, election subversion and worse. With the 2026 midterm elections less than a year away, Trump is already plotting his next moves.
Here’s what we all need to prepare for.

Another soup kitchen experienced the same surge as the small one in my area. This one in NYC.
Ours saw an increase from an average of 50 to today over 200 people.
This one in NY saw an increase from max 250 to over 500 at the making of the video.
But by the end of the day it had reached 800.

If you have sick days or vacation days plan accordingly and quickly.
This blackout is 7 days. Shop ahead. Don’t buy anything that isn’t local and small business.
People will be stopping labor if they can (vacation/sick days). And stopping shopping. An economic blackout for one week.

With SNAP benefits ending, check with your kids schools to see if they have take home meal programs. Many schools that offer free lunches also have programs that offer kids meals on evenings and weekends

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.
So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Let’s be clear:
Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.
Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

Save this number in your phone. If you see an ICE raid:
1. Ask the the person their name
2. Ask who to call to let them know they’ve been taken by ICE
3. Tell them to not say anything
4. Call this number to report the arrest
If possible video it

ICE is abducting people from immigration court this morning in San Francisco, a source onsite tells me. 100 Montgomery Street. There is resistance but I'm sure reinforcements today and every day would be valuable.
