Lest we forget there is still a hiring freeze on the federal level. Our most important agencies are bleeding experienced people all across the board. EPA and Department of State is being downsized by driving out our best professionals. I am sure the message is that if you are not totally loyal to the GOP and Trump you need to go. The IRS ,Social Security and VA will not be able to continue their mission as time goes by.

Attend their meetings and take in the discussion, and participate! That's how they figure out what's crucial to the local community (a lot of it might be about Russia, like the folks at my area's meeting have confirmed month after month. They vote on it. Meetings are usually once a month, for an hour. Hopefully you can give that small bit of time to your country. It's a GREAT way to plug into the Resistance effort and meet others of like mind. You're bound to make a few new friends.
And CALL your reps!
Be polite, but WEIGH IN!!!
Very important to remember: If they think you don't care, THEY WON'T, EITHER!
And if it's a Congressperson you're calling, might not hurt to remind him/her via those phone calls that the biggest blunder House Dems committed during bush/cheney for lying us into an unnecessary war, was when Nancy Pelosi said impeachment was "off the table".
Btw - I've listed several TOLL FREE numbers to the Capitol Hill switchboard in my sig line for easy reference.
