A whole host of overpaid consultants and talking heads told them not to do the right thing and they still chose to do the right thing, so I'd even go a step further and encourage people to contact Senators who opposed this measure (SB 9) and thank them for standing by trans people and our families

I want to quickly say how significant it is that after the last election, Dems have held relatively strong on trans rights, even on sports.
Senators in battleground states are not flipping.
Their one scuff was the NDAA, where some did flip.
Budget fight is next though.

Does anyone have a link or know how Shaheen and Hassan voted.
Need to know if I should thank them or relay my disgust next call.

Maybe! And politicians cannot be relied on to be brave. Call/email and express gratitude when they do something right or they won't next time
Or, holding elected reps accountable includes recognizing and rewarding them when they take accountability. Part of the job of being a voter imo
