There is one very important action for everyone for the next 10 days: Demand your Senators bring the Senate to a halt. Maximal obstruction.

The bad NIH director nominee, Jay Bhattacharya, will likely be voted on the week of Mar 25th. (see below)

That gives us abt 10 days to yell at Democratic Senators and tell them to bring the Senate to a halt by objecting to all future unanimous consent agreements.
