Voters Are Lighting Up the Senate Switchboard

1,600

New York Times: “Senators were informed this week that the Senate phone system was receiving 1,600 calls per minute, a sharp increase from the usual 40 calls a minute … While the phones had not completely stopped ringing, as they have in the past under heavy loads, members were told that some constituents would be sent straight to voice mail to prevent a complete shutdown.”

Who Was the Musk Rat Who Barred Members of Congress from Entering a Federal Building?

He should be identified and investigated for obstructing Congress

Unidentified Musk operative prevents members of the US House from entering a federal building

AP: Democratic members of Congress hold a news conference outside the Department of Education and oppose President Donald Trump’s plan to abolish it. They confronted security denying them access to the building.

This is outrageous. Who is this guy and on what authority can he prevent sitting members of Congress from access the federal headquarters of the Department of Education? This man needs to be identified and investigated for obstructing Congress.

Texas Democrat Calls for Trump’s Third Impeachment

“I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring articles of impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done. I also rise to say that the impeachment movement is going to be a grass up movement, not a top down. The people have got to move forward. The people have to demand it, and when the people demand it, it will be done. … On some issues, it is better to stand alone than not stand at all. On this issue, I stand alone, but I stand for justice.”

— Rep. Al Green (D-TX), reported by Real Clear Politics.

Democrat: ‘We Are Not Cooked’

“I’m not here to suggest that people shouldn’t be alarmed. I think they should be alarmed, but I also think that one of Trump’s great advantages is that he’s a very effective bluffer. And most of this stuff is going to cause a ton of damage, but will eventually be found to be illegal. There’s a real difference between understanding that this is a deadly serious situation and catastrophizing by saying, ‘We’re cooked.’ We are not cooked.”

— Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI), in an interview with the New Yorker.
