Summary
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski revealed the U.S. Senate is receiving an unprecedented 1,600 calls per minute, overwhelming its phone system.
The surge follows Trump’s aggressive policy moves, including dismantling DEI initiatives and enlisting Elon Musk in government operations.
Many calls demand Democrats “fight harder” despite their limited power in a Republican-controlled Congress.
Lawmakers compare the volume to past crises like the Oct. 7 attack, Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, and Trump’s impeachments.
All the goofs that were making absurd blanket statements about how “Congress so old” and “Biden so old” and wishing baby boomers all just retire and/or die off? I wonder where they are now that we have idiotic 19 year olds being given the keys to the kingdom and told to just go nuts.
Maybe, just maybe - it’s possible that being old is not an unqualified bad thing in of itself? Same thing for being young? Maybe not an unqualified good, either?
At least the baby boomers have some competency and quite a few have some wisdom…Bernie is even older than the baby boomers and knows the score and is still very sharp. I’d sure listen to him over a fucking young dipshit like “big balls” or his cohorts.
