This is wonderful because it's the new reality that not all representatives are not lemmingly behind the Trump. The 118th Congress can still push forward the bipartisan immigration bill. This legislation could stil become lawl.

This makes me so happy.

Think about this : Lindsey Graham just said on television that this passed BECAUSE of Trump.

ROTFLMAO. What a schmuck with air flaps is he!

Very good day and can feel things shifting, as you’ve said. I have Democratic congresswoman and US senators here in OR but still important to write them. Thanks for reminder!

I’m thrilled about the passage of aid to Ukraine. I made sure to call my representative to thank him for standing for Ukraine.

So relieved about Ukraine. Simon, I was on Friday's Network NOVA Power Lunch and Anderson Clayton was one of the guests. She was singing your praises.

It will take far more that a gag order to stop Trump. Reportedly, even his lawyers are choking on the hot and putrid gas being passed by their flatulent client!

Michigan GOP house members voted no with one exception. Michigan overall, like most of the country supports Ukraine funding. We need to get these right wing nuts out. Many of us called and pushed so all the more reason that they are not listening and we need to get messages for down ballots!

Is he actually wearing black face now?

Significant shift that Mike Johnson bucked the ultra-extremist wing of his house members to bring the Ukraine bill to the floor, and that more and more Repubs are speaking out against the failure to govern. With continued hard work those seats can get filled by either Dems or Repubs who care to govern.

Yes, it has been a very good week! We are finally seeing the House behave like a governing body!

There is hope! Thanks for this upbeat post!

As someone who used to work [in the lowest tier] of a Congressional office, I can tell you that your communications DO matter. Even the Neanderthal members count their incoming letters, postcards, calls. No one is "won over" by the artfulness of your arguments and prose; they just imagine you at the voting box.

So save your time, write something, and encourage others to do so. We've seen that it DOES matter.

Please educate me — what should the Trump campaign have done to avoid the cancellation of the rally? I want to understand their planning. Did they not watch the weather? Did they not have an alternative place? Do they not have an adequate advance team?

I called my representative, Bowman, NY, three times, and I was very impressed that each time I immediately spoke to a person who was polite, helpful, and interested. I’m going to call tomorrow morning to thank them.
