Let’s all call and remind our senators who voted for Pete Hegseth that they voted for an unqualified candidate with a questionable background. They put Americans' safety in the hands of an amateur who inexcusably invited a journalist to join an unsecured chat about a foreign military operation.

We just learned that Elon Musk is handing out $100 to anyone who signs his “i hate judges” petition in Wisconsin in an effort to try to buy the wisconsin supreme court seat for his friend Schimel.

Call him at (608) 266-1221 or use the link : Constituent Correspondence | wi.accessgov 
Ask him if either the $100 payment OR the use of voter data he collects violates any Wisconsin state election laws.

Good Trouble:

ACTION REQUEST -  Today USAID staff in Washington received word that they can go into USAID headquarters at the Ronald Reagan Building to retrieve their personal belongings. The entire Washington-based staff will have two days, this Thursday and Friday, in one-hour windows by bureau and in 15-minute increments per person. No boxes or packing materials will be provided. There are staff who have worked at the RRB for 20-30 years, and it is the "mother ship" for most of us. This will be an extremely emotional two days. So, we would like to encourage anyone who is able to join us at the RRB to "clap out" staff, with signs of support. If you're able to bring extra packing materials and / or drinks and snacks please do. We want to show these people how you treat public servants who have given their lives to the important work we do.

THURSDAY 7:30 am - 6:00 pm

FRIDAY 7:30 am - 3:30 pm

USAID Ronald Reagan Building 1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW

There is public parking in the RRB garage, and the closest metros are Metro Center (red line) and Federal Triangle (orange/blue). If you are planning to park in the garage please make sure to have a government-issued ID (driver's license).
