IT IS WORKING. If you haven’t called today, call again!!
Today the Trump mob is hinting and waffling and shuffling and floating half-measures, and none of it means anything except this:
They are afraid.
They are afraid of losing what little support they have. They’re afraid of losing funding. Redouble the pressure. Press the advantage.
Call if your Senator already agrees. Push them to do more. Make them lose sleep wondering how they can stop ICE harder.
Cal if your Senator is an irredeemable right-winger. Let them feel the heat. Make them know ICE’s murders will haunt them.
Call if your Senator is waffling. That means they’re weak, and right now that means we have the advantage.
For this brief moment, the fight is in the electoral arena, and your calls are actually good for something.
They’re afraid. Hit them harder.

The call […]
They’re afraid. Hit them harder.

They’re afraid. Hit them harder.
“For the past seven months, Bovino has been the public face of [ICE’s] traveling immigration crackdown”

Yeah I doubt he'll retire
That's just a cover story to get attention off him for a while
These are *all* pathological liars
