Good Trouble:
Call your senators and cite the upcoming hearing with former DOJ officials, and ask them for hearings on Signal Gate and the Deportation of people without due process. Let them know you understand they don’t have subpoena power, but that we need to Benghazi the shit out of these massive scandals. Tell them to attempt to subpoena people and make noise when they’re voted down by Republicans. Ask for more filibusters and more objections to unanimous consent. Ruben Gallego is going to block Trump's VA picks and Schiff is going to block Ed Martin’s confirmation. Tell them to follow Cory Booker's example and do more! Contacting U.S. Senators | senate.gov
