glad you're feeling better! https://5calls.org/ has a list of issues right on their homepage, you could skim that until you feel caught up

Thank you!

That's what I was gonna recommend

Try the app 5 calls

It’s not quite that but https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com is a daily email with a one (long) sentence summary of what trump and co did that day

I'm on this email list but I've been mostly deleting bulk emails without reading them (again with the overwhelm, finally declared inbox bankruptcy and deleted all the unread messages that weren't personally for me). I should start paying attention to this one again, thank you for the reminder!!

I have this same thing. Some weeks, I just skip all my newsletters (even the ones I need for work, sigh)

But I tend to pick & choose my calls from the various sources and I aim for three calls a week. It helps that #Illinois #Senators are #UnreachableByPhone. So I can use their contact forms.

That’s good to know about the IL senators - that’s consistent and you never get through? My brain works better writing things out anyway.

I usually try because i got through to voicemail at Durbin's local number once last month. I also always add "I cannot reach your office on the phone" in my contact form messages and i don't want to be lying to congress. :p
