Just called my rep, took me all of 5 minutes! Here’s a sample script I used
![My name is [Your Name], and I'm a constituent from [Your City, IL]. I'm calling to express my deep concern about President Trump's recent executive orders directing federal agencies to withhold congressionally appropriated funds.

Someone recently asked me if the three spine stickleback 🐟 was a bird (in their defense, they worked only with lab mice). This tickled me, so I asked Dall-e, what *would* a stickleback bird look like? Needs some work on the anatomy, but this was its take:
