Write those emails; make those calls.
There are so very many things to be addressed but I try to limit myself. A friend told me she had trouble with calling as she got so angry she sputtered and fell over her words. So would I if I didn't have a prepared script to follow (it works for emails too.)
This was yesterday's:
I am concerned as to why DOGE is acquiring sensitive personal information from the IRS. I am concerned that Trump/Musk's wrecking ball approach to cutting costs is doing immeasurable harm, at home and abroad. I am concerned that your party seems to be turning governing over to a gang of irresponsible actors, while conciliating Putin and offending our longtime allies. And I'd like to know if you have received financial support from Musk.
I am touched by those of you who said you read my blog daily. I shall endeavor to persevere.
As I am with the watercolors. The above is painted from a photo I took some years ago at a threshing--an event carried on as a tradition by a local family. Keeping on.

Did you see the photo of the shaggy haired 23 year old who fired scientists who were maintaining our country's nuclear weapons? The kid had no idea what those people did for a living. They had the nation's highest security clearances. They are irreplaceable. The kid fired them, locked them out of their offices, abolished their official email, so no one could contact them to beg them to come back to work. This stunt got the attention of republicans in Congress, who demanded that the firings be rescinded immediately.
Appalling.
Thanks Sandra for more information which I only heard as the backlash happened. Thanks Vicki for being here "keeping on." Now I need to copy your script and call those guys in DC.
When I called I got choked up so by the third call I started blubbering.
I had read that story but it didn't include who had done the firing just that their emails were canceled so contact to ask them to return to work was difficult.
I so understand.
