Earlier this week, we were thrilled to witness back to back days of a Southern Resident superpod. Here is our map covering their movements over the course of three days.
A true superpod occurs when all members of the J, K, and L pods gather together in the same location. That’s 74 whales!

@durbin.senate.gov Sir, you have done a horrible thing voting Yes to invoke Cloture, not just for Illinois, but the entire county. I'm sending this message b/c your DC office is not taking messages from voters. Maybe you don't care cos you are retiring, but history will remembered you caved.

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.

I just used this to make another round of calls-it helped w/ making several calls. There is so much on the line-my Rep already sends regular updates that incl ICE resistance here in Chicagoland-so I also included a TY to them-these calls matter & important 2remind Congress the voters r watching!
I just called my senators to tell them not to vote for a blank check deal on the shutdown. You can can find your reps’ phone numbers using @5calls.org 5calls.org

Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

I just used 5calls to do this too. It's easy, and even if the rumors of capitulation are only rumors, it helps to voice your opposition so they know we want them to hold the line.

Not impeaching and removing every official involved with this remains one of the biggest failures of constitutional governance ever, and there is a direct line from that to where we sit today.
