Item 1
➡️ If you have Senators to call, call them. Leave a voice mail or, if you reach a human staffer, tell them you’re a constituent at [your address here] and that you urge them to oppose RFK Jr. for Secretary of Health and Human Services. (Why? Here are live CBS updates from the the hearings today and yesterday + GLAAD’s 2024 accountability profile + NYMag’s note that he is clueless about how Medicaid works.)
While you have them on the line, demand they oppose Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, and Trump’s other nominees.

Item 2
It’s Girl Scout Cookie season, and for the fourth year in a row, Erin Reed is compiling this running list:
➡️ Order some from a kid who could use a win!
- Be sure you select the “ship to me” option, NOT the “deliver cookies by hand” option.
- As of this writing, some of the scouts on Erin’s list who haven’t met their goals yet are Eliana (Eastern PA), Josie (Los Angeles), and Jack (Oklahoma) - but you can click through to find many more.
- Many scouts have an option to “Donate Cookies” at the bottom of their order forms, so that’s an option if you don’t want cookies for yourself but would like to cover the cost for them to distribute to folks in their communities.
