Call their local and state offices instead when they are open if the Washington switchboard is busy this week.

Why is this not the lead story in the media? Outrage in Congress?! Oh right, they're on vacation. Why would they take notice the Treasury has been hijacked. And that NO ONE elected Musk!

President elect SissyPants isn't moving his inauguration indoors because of the cold weather.
It's because his fragile ego can't handle meager crowds...or wind messing up that ferret glued to his head.
