I adore our senators. (If I feel this discouraged and fearful in Oregon, I cannot imagine what it's like to live in a red state, surrounded by people who cheer this crap on.) Thank you for that "things we don't even know about." I really hope that staffer is correct. I certainly trust our senators to do everything they can.

Thank you. I'm still terrified and despondent, but it helps to have something to cling to.
