I called Duckworth and Durbin's offices. The DC ones just tell you to email but you can call their Chicago offices. For Duckworth I got to talk to a real person, Durbin I had to leave a voicemail Duckworth: 312-886-3506 Durbin: 312-353-4952

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)
