Rep Don Beyer just called mw- same as two weeks ago. I answer the phone, it drops me into the audio town hall. I had signed up for updates and didn't even know this was happening. It's nice. A good use of tech. Even if it's gonna be a shitshow of ANGRY Feds.

I briefed her once when she was the Vice Commandant. She was nice and we had a very engaging discussion about international maritime law enforcement cooperation. But I guess she had to go because "woke"? 😕

My parents, who both live in Indiana, called Senator Todd Young's office to urge him to vote against Hegseth and Gabbard. I hope the senator cares more about his constituent's views than he does the views of Pete's mommy.
