Tonight is a big deal. Honestly, Senators rarely do what they're doing tonight. If your Senator(s) speaks (we'll get you a list tomorrow—but check their Bluesky!), they deserve a big thank you because they're starting to do what you asked them to do! Positive reinforcement is SO important, folks.
![Check to see if your Democratic Senator spoke on the floor tonight. If they did, call 1-833-784-1421 to say thank you and keep fighting. Here's a script: Hi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I’m calling to thank [Senator’s Name] for holding the floor and standing strong against Russ Vought’s nomination for Director of the Office of Management and Budget. This kind of resistance is exactly what we need right now! Please let the Senator know that their constituents are watching and we appreciate them taking action.
I also want to encourage [Senator’s Name] to keep fighting—vote NO on all of Trump’s nominees, call for quorum, and block unanimous consent. The stakes are too high to let anything through without a fight. We need them to use every tool at their disposal to slow this administration down.
Thank you! Can you pass my message along to the Senator?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4mk7qnew2i34bycg6wdg4knp/bafkreign3oh7lfji6kultlozb2mwlba7hzijckueasqrimilnzfw45mueu@jpeg)
