Good news this week, friends: Republican MoCs are beginning to push back against Donald and his agenda–with health care, with the budget, and with his baseless wiretapping allegations.

The reason these GOP lawmakers are finding their spine is that constituents like us are forcing them to answer for their cowardice and complicity. Keep those calls going–a few minutes a day has an enormous impact, especially when so many of us are doing it.
