Proud of Sen. Alex Padilla @padilla.senate.gov , but Sen. Schiff @schiff.senate.gov you should be ashamed of yourself! This is not how you fight!
People around the country are asking Senate Dems to fight back. But today, 22 Senate Dems voted for yet another Trump nominee (Collins for VA). If yours voted the right way, thank them. If they voted the wrong way, do what you can to let your entire community know and express disapproval.

I talk a lot about the “vocation” part but, as we can see, the “awe” is as important to the concept. Awe is not meant to be a comforting feeling. It overwhelms and paralyzes. Which is the goal. Awe is meant to destroy your will to fight and make it easier to elicit obedience from you.
USAID officials called Trump's directives a "shock and awe" approach that has left officials unsure how to apply for exemptions for life-saving aid programs. "They even removed all the pictures in our offices of aid programs," per one official
