Hell YES! Y’all are flooding the Capitol Switchboard so hard it’s overwhelmed—this is people power in action! 💥
Here’s what to do next: Call your reps’ district offices instead. It’s easy—just Google their name + “district office number.”
Pass it on. Keep that pressure blazing.

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

There’s mounting evidence that Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary is not telling the truth about DOGE’s infiltration of the federal payments system.
