As a Californian I feel calls to my representatives don't make much difference in opposing Trump. "Chop Wood, Carry Water" has a script to call Marriott corporate headquarters to object to their housing ICE agents. I reached an agent who documented my objection.

Today is the day to call your Democratic Senators and tell them to vote NO on cloture. See AOC's reasons why here: www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/aoc-warns-...
AOC Warns Senate Democrats to Vote No on Cloture
“I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill. Those games won’t fool anyone."

Said it many times now, including today on the pod: the signal failure these past weeks, distinctly Democratic, was failure to lay out conditions far in advance. No Dem votes for Big Lie nominees. No Dem CR votes unless the crime ends. Shape discourse at the outset—before they beat you to the punch.
Lemme say a few more things about this. There are a lot of equities at stake in this decision. I've talked with people who see this differently than I do. And they make compelling arguments, even though I disagree with them. But the biggest throughline here is an inability to understand ...
A senior Dem aide tells me that today's caucus lunch got *very* contentious around these questions. There's clearly an intense internal debate going on right now on it.

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

Totally agree. The mainstream media must do better - we are in the midst of a constititional crisis and a coup.
