Weekly Check In March 17

[tanaqui]

Trump issued the first veto of his presidency, blocking a measure passed by Congress to terminate his emergency declaration. Congress will likely hold a vote on overriding the veto in a couple of weeks, so it's worth calling your representatives again. This would be a good opportunity to follow sathari's suggestion to Be Kind To Your Democratic Congresscritters (And Their Staffers!), by thanking them for their efforts so far, as well as urging them on.

Before I list the posts made in the comm this week, I wanted to link to a fundraiser for the victims of the horrific shootings in New Zealand, if you're looking for a place to show your support and donate.

New posts this week

Hey, Wanna Contact Some Advertisers? (Targeting advertisers supporting Tucker Carlson's show)
