Summary
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski revealed the U.S. Senate is receiving an unprecedented 1,600 calls per minute, overwhelming its phone system.
The surge follows Trump’s aggressive policy moves, including dismantling DEI initiatives and enlisting Elon Musk in government operations.
Many calls demand Democrats “fight harder” despite their limited power in a Republican-controlled Congress.
Lawmakers compare the volume to past crises like the Oct. 7 attack, Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, and Trump’s impeachments.
This is probably the type of person that won’t bother calling, but, yeah…it hurts to know how many people chose to sit the fuck out, or throw their vote away on a pointless third party. Or worse, even voting outright for donvict.
Knowing full well that donvict was a monster. Knowing about Project 2025, knowing all of it.
Even worse, they encouraged OTHERS to do the same thing.
