Called my senators

Those jerks. Sigh. (Actually, I like them well enough, from what I've seen so far. Both Democrats.)

The problem is, I can't really call during business hours. So I called after I got home and changed and stuff. I called their local offices first. #1: Endless message loop, no way to leave a voicemail (unless I select a specific staffer, only identified by name, maybe? I'll try that next time). #2: Mailbox full. I tried their DC offices. #1: Mailbox full. #2: Finally left a message. Maybe it'll do some good.

One of the many frustrating things is I don't know exactly what to talk to them about--what exactly is going on right now. When they'd done the budget vote where Republicans put in the thing about defunding the ACA, the news made it sound like a done deal that we couldn't do anything about it--not true. Now I'm trying to resist Trump's cabinet picks, but I can't find any information about when confirmations are happening! Maybe they don't know yet? Possibly because the Republicans went on retreat? I don't even know, and I'm actively trying to keep up with the news.
