I have no doubt Sen. Luther Strange (R-AL) will keep his new position. Unfortunately.

What the actual fuck???  Do this morons not realize this is their JOB???  Not sucking up to corporate assholes, but representing the ordinary people of their state, who have a right to be heard. 

I really shouldn't read this kind of stuff before work.

These jokers don't want to represent their own people. I hope they are all voted out

An old work buddy of mine is a life long Cheese Head.  I should email him and ask about this.

All I can say to this is - wow. Wow.

You voted me in, you are my constituent, your taxes pay my salary, but I will take steps to restrain you from contacting me when I refuse to contact you via town halls, etc.

Your concerns are irrelevant. I don't want to hear. You are a nuisance.

Weeell, if this isn't malfeasance it should be. And failing that, carry on telephoning, going to his office etc - imagine the headlines when he takes out a TRO!

'Lawmaker bars constituent from making contact!'

'Contacting your representative carries same penalties as abusive husband contacting spouse!'

'Don't contact your representative - you could land in jail!'

PLEASE carry on trying to make him connect with you - in fact, everyone here on FJ in his district insist on it!

Here's what you can do to protect yourself:

Because grief will come in measures,
only grief alone will know
And you'll see it on your family,
on your own face it will grow
And they'll try to keep you hungry,
then they'll tell you to eat snow.
You know pride can be a moving thing
if we learn the strength of "NO!"
--------

At noon on one day coming, 
human strength will fill the streets
Of every city on our planet,
hear the sound of angry feet
With business freezed up in the harbour,
the kings will pull upon their hair
And the banks will shudder to a halt,
and the artists will be there.

------

We are children in the rafters,
We are babies in the park,
We are lovers at the movies,
We are candles in the dark,
We are changes in the weather,
We are snowflakes in July,
We are women grown together,
We are men who easily cry,
We are words not quickly spoken,
We're the deeper side of try,
We are dreamers in the making, 
We are not afraid of "Why?"

Don't know where to put this, but since the fake media is the enemy of Agent Orange, I'll post it here. I just spent money I don't have. In addition to the WoPo,  I now subscribe to the NYT.  Just the online version because I'm drowning in paper over here in OneKidVille.  As the Post says on their banner "Democracy Dies in Darkness"

Edited because I got all grammar Nazi on myself. Yes I know I just did it again.

Marches for Science were a great success.

Marches for Science Outdraw Donald Trump’s Inauguration

Quote

Donald Trump is less popular than science. The American people rejected his candidacy on Election Day and they rejected his inauguration. Now they have rejected his rejection of science and global warming. And they have done it in overwhelming numbers.

The article mentions the crowd sizes. Science FTW!

NOW is the time to call Republican Senators, if you're a constituent. McConnell is pushing them to pass a bill by the end of June that will be as bad as the House version.

Here is a list of names, phone numbers & email addresses for healthcare staffers to Senate Republicans.

The google doodle thing today. I did not know about this. Reading the article left me in awe.

Swing Left identifies congressional districts in each state that are most likely to flip in the 2018 elections.  The website also offers organizational support to get out the vote in swing districts.  If you have more money than time, the website provides a way to donate to congressional candidates in targeted districts.
