    I feel like maybe we should call our 4 senators (AK, MW and both KY) and say thanks for voting the way the did. I am from AK, I generally don’t agree with a lot of what Lisa does, but she does have a history of occasional rank breaking, and, performative or not, she is still one of the only senators who doesn’t religiously fall in line.

        I called one and said thanks. Called the other, and told his voicemail the same thing. Not that he will listen… Useless human.

      Please do - phone calls mean a lot, and I really cannot overstate this, a ridiculous amount of weight is given to them if they’re in-state; not email. Any time you can call on an issue, do.

        I called both of them. One got my thanks, and one my dissatisfaction. I don’t think he cares… But I did anyway.
