Call your Dem senators and tell them not to fund the government without getting some shit fixed - If you agree. I know many folks may not agree with me that we should risk shutting down the government, but I can tell you that’s the consensus among all the current and former federal employees I’ve spoken with, including a lot of the alts. This government is broken, and we can’t continue to fund it without protecting elections, funding DC, allowing appropriations to be spent, etc.  Contacting U.S. Senators
