But these Republican legislators aren’t going to do anything to rein in Trump, Musk and their cabinet of unqualified misfits unless they start to feel pressure at home.
It’s up to us to apply that pressure. One way to do so is by using the "5 Calls" app.

But they’re not helpless. They could speak up, perform oversight, insist that only Congress holds the power of the purse, and let the Trump Administration know that their constituents won’t stand for it!
In short, they could DO THEIR JOBS.

Woodbury County Democrats, we need your voice!
As we watch the full-scale dismantling of our government by the Trump/Musk Administration, our Republican Congressional representatives are standing by and acting helpless.

Keep calling those Republican offices. They are the only ones who can slow this descent into autocracy, and they need to be made to feel uncomfortable.

I then asked when the Senator will speak up about this. The staffer said he can only take messages or refer me to other materials clarifying Grassley’s stance.
I asked whether the Senator is being threatened if he disagrees with the President, and the staffer wouldn’t answer.

The staffer said I could go to Grassley’s website to find his position, which is supportive of Ukraine.
I asked, in effect, "So if the president supports Russia and the Senator supports Ukraine, would it be logical to conclude that they disagree?"

I asked the staffer to clarify two things for me:
1) Who does the Senator believe started the war, Russia or Ukraine, as Trump claims?
2) Does the Senator believe Zelensky is a dictator, as Trump contends?

Feenstra is not legislating, conducting oversight, or objecting at all as an unelected bureaucrat usurps Congress’ authority by cutting Congressionally approved programs and rummaging around in our personal data. Why should we continue paying him when he continues to refuse to represent us?

Then the staffer asked if he could relay a message. I answered that in a nutshell, I want to know why Feenstra is outsourcing his job to Elon Musk.

I just called Randy Feenstra’s office to find out whether/when he will hold a town hall. The staffer told me that due to security concerns, they are not releasing Rep. Feenstra’s schedule at this time. I asked what those security concerns are, and the guy wouldn’t answer.
