Summary
Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski revealed the U.S. Senate is receiving an unprecedented 1,600 calls per minute, overwhelming its phone system.
The surge follows Trump’s aggressive policy moves, including dismantling DEI initiatives and enlisting Elon Musk in government operations.
Many calls demand Democrats “fight harder” despite their limited power in a Republican-controlled Congress.
Lawmakers compare the volume to past crises like the Oct. 7 attack, Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearing, and Trump’s impeachments.
Getting 1600 calla, or are they SLAMMED with calls? Well I guess we’ll know whether calls matter after this.
This is like the one instance where slammed actually makes sense to use.
Whining like this makes me fervently wish that all headlines include the word “slammed” until the end of time.
