The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. Put it in your cell phone. Use it. If you're not calling at least once a week, you're not doing your part.

Happy Brett Saw Condorsiversary, to all who celebrate! 🪶
Personal news: I've seen a California Condor.
Over a dozen trips into areas where they frequent with no luck, and today they're within shouting distance, if shouting at a condor did anything. I'm not shouting. Thread later 🪶

I noticed that Amazon now has an AI thing that says “Ask Rufus”. Well I just want you to know this is Rufus. I don’t really recommend asking him anything unless you want to hear about how hungry he is or if there’s a crow on the light pole or if his roommate left a stinker in the box.
