It is Monday morning, and while the House of Representatives remains on an extended recess, the fallout from last week’s federal deadlines and legislative maneuvers is escalating. Congressional staff are currently in their home districts, which means constituent mail is being heavily monitored to gauge local priorities before lawmakers return to DC.

If you have three minutes this morning, here are seven active campaigns where you can apply direct, fact-based pressure on your lawmakers right now:

Force a Vote to Impeach Pete Hegseth

Demand the Unredacted Epstein Files

Impeach Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts

Tomorrow we start following the checks in five Senate races. First stop is Paxton. If you’ve been waiting for the receipts, that’s the one.

Julie's avatar

Goody! Thanks for the persistence and hard work on your part, Sam, and Scott's!

Kathy's avatar

Please follow the checks in Hope Florida scandal-enabler Ashley Moody’s race !

This criminal regime is so damn anti American morality, which is so damn angering to me!

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Beyond disgusting. Filthy ICE cretins with masks & guns, politicians on the take everywhere, pedophiles at large. Where are the epstein files now, Todd?

Sam Jones's avatar

What a disaster this whole regime has been

Sam Jones's avatar

Let’s make them pay for it in Nov

Julie's avatar

And the way they flaunt excess, privilege, and corruption in the face of milliions who are suffering on multiple levels because of them is egregious. Case in point: That despicable Mar-A-Lago event over the weekend.

I had to walk away from the screen after the kid in the detention uniform. Then I came back and hit restack. That’s all I’ve got this morning, and it’s enough.

Sam Jones's avatar

Understood. Keep going, Ms J!

Julie's avatar

I know how you feel, Ms. Jonington. I am a HSP and this stuff stays with me for a very long time. My coping mechanisms: stay in actively engaged to fight it and take time to care for yourself, (and cuddle with a furry friend). Hope this helps.

I hope Natalie is keeping trump updated - I want her to feed him as much misinformation as she can muster, so he remains out of touch and saying out-of-touch things until the midterms. So far, he’s burying the GOP and himself quite well.

Go Natalie!

Sam Jones's avatar

LOL! Go Natalie!

Julie's avatar

She is so creepy. But if it helps to further pull Trump down into the bowels of Hell, I'm all for it.

Keep up the great work, Mr. Dworkin!!

Sam Jones's avatar

Keep up the fight, Robert!

Virginia Stewart's avatar

No, there isn't a race near me that forecasters have gotten wrong. J. Telerico is going to win!

Sam Jones's avatar

I’m with you!

We cannot get rid of Trump and his imbecilic administration fast enough.

I believe every race is important and kudos to pro publica for breaking the story about Susan Collin’s. She is a perfect example of being able to “talk the talk” but do the deals under the table I don’t really understand who responds to polls, I’ve never been asked so I don’t understand the science behind it! I hope that people see the corruption and we can right the ship! I’m really concerned with the “ Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, and North Korea “ alliances. And I don’t understand why it doesn’t get more attention

Sam Jones's avatar

All I ever use polls for is motivation. If we're leading, it's momentum to use to push even harder. If we're behind, it's a kick in the bum to push even harder. 💪

Julie's avatar

I just saw a video of her from 30 years ago where she pledges to just two terms. Isn't it more like six terms that she's been in Congress? That's very "concerning"

Judy Sherwood's avatar

Please do not gloss over Minnesota's Senator, House Rep for District 6, and Governor . Michele Tafoya (former sports forecaster) is the R running to replace retiring Tina Smith. Doug Chapin is running to replace R Tom Emmer in District 6. Lisa Demuth (R) is running against Amy Klobuchar (D) for governor. Mega millionaire in Wisconsin is funding Demuth's campaign. Tafoya runs on a platform re: trans kids. Emmer's campaign insists that life is good under trump and beef is $2/lb.

Who is the Wisconsin mega millionaire?

Scott, I can’t upgrade to a founding member right now but will as soon as I can. Again this month, my SS deposit has been delayed & I could drive to my credit union to ask them to check if it’s in their system yet. This is unnecessary stress the criminals are creating all over our country every month. Now that gas is not only more expensive but any week now we could be unable to buy gas at any price! I’ve been a Dem all my adult life & I believe we have people in the senate for sure that need to retire & not by being replaced with a MAGA candidate! Chuck Shumer, you were doing great for years but now you’re in the way with your inability to lead except in a dumb chant. Please retire so we can get more adept at fighting for us. Retire in peace sir & the others who have stayed too long, please support younger people who can turn on a dime. I know I can’t!

Sam Jones's avatar

Carol that’s awesome of you to even consider, but take care of you first! We are so grateful for your support and glad to have you here!

Yesterday, the US won America's Cup vs The International Team (golf). The US team Captain, Brendt Snedeker, said this in the post contest interview, for the entire country and world to see https://www.pgatour.com/video/competition/6405710984112/us-team-captain-brandt-snedekers-interview-after-winning-presidents-cup "one last shout out to President Trump....he gets all the credit, so thank you President Trump, he gets all the credit". Are you kidding me Snedeker? Sickening. Golf is a game of rules, etiquette, and code of honor. Shameful that you gush praise and give credit to a documented golf cheater, liar, and con man (see Rick Reilly's book Commander in Cheat), not to mention how he gives the finger to the rule of law not just in golf but in everything. Give praise and false authorship to somebody who had absolutely nothing to do with the success of the American team? Mr Snedeker, you do not deserve to represent the golfers in this country, giving praise to a person whose approval rating is descending below 30%. I guess Snedeker is in the delusional cult of the 30%. Trump's approval rating in the rest of the world, particularly Europe, is even worse ---

15% in France, 16% in Germany, 17% in Italy, 18% in Australia, 20% in Canada, and 25% in Japan. In Mexico it was only 11%. On the other hand, there are countries where he remains quite popular: 66% in Israel (complicated) and 68% in the Philippines (not sure about this one) with (Pew Research Center). I'm just about ready to sell my clubs and take up pickleball.

Surprised he didn’t pray to his lord Trump

This Dworkin Army of thinkers are leading the fight to preserve democracy- when the election is over on 11/3 new delegates will prepare for battle. I hope they respect the will of the people who gave them the opportunity- we will be looking for action!

Sam Jones's avatar

YES! This community is POWERFUL

I would like to see you dig into the Maine Senate race. I support Josh Turek. Can you help him ?

Mary Kellogg's avatar

William: I didn't recognize his name among the plethora of candidates we've looked over in Maine, but Iowa has an impressive-looking candidate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Turek

Sam Jones's avatar

I think he was saying Maine and Turek!

Much more, please.
