FLOOD THE LINES

CALL the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121. Ask to be connected to your specific representative or senator. When you reach them, request the release of the Epstein files. For these reasons and more:

Harrisburg, PA — there are so many older women in banana suits at the Capitol holding antifa signs and none of that sentence would have made sense to me 10 years ago

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.
