The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.
He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

We heard the rumors. Maybe president panican will declare martial law, maybe he won’t. But do you think this clown car of incompetent sycophantic signal leakers can keep all 300 million of us down? Absolutely not. We will not comply. Here’s some advice from Oliver Kornetzke. Let’s get weird.

It is after midnight when I hear the #noise. A closing door. The cats wake up from their positions on the bed and rocket around with ears swiveling, freaked out.

I sit up and hold my hand against my hammering heart. We're supposed to be alone.

Carl wheeled on her. "Just tell the kid what to do. Why are you giving me so much #grief about this, Mary? It's not a #life and #death decision."

"Actually, it might be," she said levelly. She clutched a pistol in her shaking hand.

It took a moment for him to realize what he was seeing.

She stopped mid-word.

I asked, "Amy? Are you okay?"

"I've lost the #thread," she said, and sighed. "It used to be if things didn't support my vision for life, I'd #bounce. But now I don't even know what the vision was, or if visions make any sense in this fucked up age. It just rolls on."

There was no warning, just the paranoid-seeming sensation of trouble crawling in the Pathfinder pilot's skull. Not that I wasn't grateful. Without him scooting us out of there so fast he left our #luggage behind, the Ariel would have been so much confetti scattered across two counties.

I watched in #euphoria as the moth - its #velveteen body lost in the whirl of its #gossamer wings - fluttered upward in the moonlit night.

A bat took it on the wing, zipping past me in ermine darkness. It passed so close I could smell it skunky body odor. Shocked, I backed into safety.

She sprayed the perfume, a mignonette blend not made in thirty years, its scent swirling around her like a forgotten dream. It smelled just like the one he gave her long ago. But as it faded, so did his face. She reached for more, desperate—but the bottle was dry.
