I will be taking the DRP 2.0 offer. I have been harassed, tormented, and stressed to the point my physical and mental health are suffering. If America doesn’t want wetlands conserved to protect from disastrous flooding, contaminated water, or further wildlife decline (to name a few)….here ya go.

If you want a general strike we need at least 10 million people to commit to ensure a successful action. The numbers are still too low. Use a burner email and name if needed to sign. Sign here: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #GeneralStrike

Amazing turnout in Chambana IL today for the #handsoff protest. Biggest crowd yet - at least a few hundred. Disappointed to not see a larger college student turnout.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The media, including social, is reporting that @booker.senate.gov broke the record with his “speech”. The headline should be that Booker stood for 24 hours to warn and incite America to stand up for their failing democracy.

@booker.senate.gov did a remarkable job taking my internalized anger, frustrations, and fear to the Senate floor and to Americans. I hope his words and effort reach out to those that have chosen to ignore the chaos and pain around them.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

USDA just released DRP 2.0, open from Apr 1-8 with the same guidelines as the original.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

I'd like to bring this video to your attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyco... It's doing pretty significant numbers for what it is, so while I understand sharing it won't make a difference for those knee-deep in the cult of personality, I'd say it has a better-than-average chance of resonating.

I say this as a federal employee who would be required to work during a government shutdown, without pay. Senators need to step up and refuse to approve a budget or yet another CR. To compromise is to be complicit with unlawful destruction of our democracy. #holdthegoddamnline

IL NRCS has just let go of all of their contractors - ~14 across the state. These contractors assisted with archiving FSA documents, assisting with admin related to highly erodible ones and wetland compliance. This comes after several Biologists/other staff were unlawfully terminated.
