There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
Senator Van Hollen lives this attitude – and planted hope in hopelessness.

Activists call the high fiscal notes a kill tactic. Read @aaronhedge.bsky.social's story now! #Waleg

I just left a town all of 200+ fired up and pissed off Dems meeting with Sen Murray and Sen Cantwell staff. Message was loud and clear to GET IN THE GAME and be an opposition party to Trump/Musk illegal and unconstitutional actions.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.
