It’s only been 10 days since the election, and we’re already back at work with more tenacity than ever before. The strength I’ve seen from folks powering through these uncertain times has been beyond inspiring.

We’ve all seen how Trump is trying to hire unqualified cult followers for crucial cabinet posts. Most of them should be in prison for one reason or another: Kennedy for HHS, Gaetz for AG, Noem for DHS—the list goes on and on.

And how did we respond?

By organizing thousands of folks to send 14,147 letters to Senators, demanding they block Trump from abusing recess appointments. We still have more than 2 months until anyone can be formally confirmed—and we’re just getting started.

1. Sending letters. Wow. That will show them.

Sorry, but writing strongly-worded letters to MAGA senators sounds to me like farting in a whirlwind. Dem Senators are already on board but the GOPers in the majority will use those letters for toilet paper.

2. I hope all those letter were sternly worded.

3. Excellent point. I thought of that too, but not in those terms.

4. The only thing that will make these assholes respond is if they start losing money

Their world is actually very uncomplicated. More money good, less money bad. American values never enter into it.

5. They will all do as they are told

they always do.

6. Sure wish writing letters and phoning politicians' office made a real difference.

Hasn't worked at all in Florida over the past 10 years, since that asswipe came oozing down his gilded escalator. The MAGA GOP don't represent the citizens, they only work for their master-donors.
