A really important email from my friend Senator @chrismurphyct.bsky.social . As he says "this is a 5 alarm fire."
America is under attack right now.

This. If you don’t think your calls to your senators and representatives make a difference, they do. Make the calls. Tell them to do whatever it takes to slow the Rs down and expose them for who they are. Make a difference.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Yep, right after the Trump administration fired me. After nearly 30 years of government service (military and civilian), I’m allowed to not only have, but also express, an opinion.

Hi, immunologist here:

RFK Jr is talking absolute bullshit when he says he can “see in kids faces that they have inflammation”
That’s NOT how immunology works.
He is an anti-science profiteer.
Start calling him such.

Dems should literally create a collaborator's list and put names of institutions and people on it. "Here are people who helped undermine the US Constitution in order to help themselves." Anyone who goes on the list should know they're never coming off it.
100% correct. We started to see Jamie Raskin do this with big law. It needs to keep happening. Make it clear there will be a massive, everlasting cost to folding to this administration.
Democrats need to directly attack and pressure institutions for caving to Trump. As in, they need to give speeches and call out - by name - companies, universities, and law firms that have acceded to his illegal demands. If they don't, the path of least resistance will always be acquiescence.

More good advice from @jesscraven101.bsky.social here. The whole rep office uses the same call tracking system, and junior staff or interns in the district offices can take down your input too. Just be sure they know you’re a constituent, ask who you’re talking to, and (politely) request a response.
Hell YES! Y’all are flooding the Capitol Switchboard so hard it’s overwhelmed—this is people power in action! 💥
Here’s what to do next: Call your reps’ district offices instead. It’s easy—just Google their name + “district office number.”
Pass it on. Keep that pressure blazing.
