His lies don’t have to change who we are. We have work to do. Keep being squeaky. Keep putting the pressure on our NC Senators, particularly Thom Tillis. (202) 224-6342, DC office, or (704) 509-9087, Charlotte office, and email, https://www.tillis.senate.gov/email-me …In a recent Facebook interview, Heather Cox Richards also encourages us – “Put in effort and pressure locally and on the state level. Particularly in NC. If you’re in NC, speak the hell up!”
Other comments from Cox Richardson’s Facebook Live interview – “Call and complain. Contribute to making our voices heard. Be a voice for moderation over the next two months, calling and writing Senator Tillis as concerns Trump’s cabinet nominations. Tell him you expect expertise and vetting by today’s FBI, not Trump’s new picks. We have a window until January and it’s always possible some Republican Senators who aren’t MAGA may grow a backbone. Even Mitch McConnell has said he has reasons to be “at war” with Trump. Let’s encourage Tillis to hold the line for cabinet members who will not endanger our country. In spite of the bluster of a mandate, Trump is not a strong incoming president, he’s 78 and slipping. It’s not a time to give up. It’s a time to pressure and push back by contacting Senators. If we do something, all is not yet lost.“
LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN – HEATHER COX RICHARDSON – 11/24/24 “In this moment, Trump’s people are working hard to convince Americans that they have gathered up all the power in Washington, D.C., but that power is actually still sloshing around. Trump is trying to force through the Senate a number of unqualified and dangerous nominees for high-level positions, threatening Republican senators that if they don’t bow to him, Elon Musk will fund primary challengers, or suggesting he will push them into recess so he can appoint his nominees without their constitutionally-mandated advice and consent.
But Trump and his people do not, in fact, have a mandate. Trump is old and weak, and power is up for grabs. It is possible that MAGA Republicans will, in the end, force Republican senators into their camp, permitting Trump and his cronies to do whatever they wish.
It is also possible that Republican senators will themselves take back for Congress the power that has lately concentrated in presidents, check the most dangerous and unpopular of Trump’s plans, and begin the process of restoring the balance of the three branches of government.”
