You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?

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.

Your senators have been getting a LOT of dedicated pressure to end the shutdown, without fixing healthcare.
If you have a minute, go ahead & give them a call!
Their job is to respond to constituents & they're mostly hearing from GOP voters rn.

CBS News has gutted its climate change reporting team, one of the best in the business, and one of the only ones on cable news that consistently called out fossil fuels as the main source of climate pollution.

It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50

I donated to his campaign. I was pissed off when it was revealed he worked as a merc, and debating what to do when the tattoo & queerphobic posts came out.
I contacted ActBlue, asked for it to be returned, got an acknowledgement of the return a few hours later; 2 days later it was in my account.
