LOOKING TO TURN ANGER INTO ACTION? Advice from a senate staffer:
DON’T bother with online petitions or email.
TWO things:
a) IN-PERSON visits — Town hall? GO TO IT. Go to local offices & "mobile office hours" (times/locations on rep's website). When there, ask questions. Push for answers. 1/

We are all Kilmar.
Every person who values our freedoms must demand he be returned home and that these horrifying abductions end immediately. Only by joining together can we confront this regime of bullies and billionaires. It’s up to us to protect our freedoms, our families, and our futures.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings.
Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that.
