This is orientation week. Some political commentators I listened to were talking about how this is supposed to be the time where more senior folks try to brainwash the newly electeds to fall in line with the Democratic Party(TM) way of doing things, like catering to donors and "showing unity" in the face of an assault on democracy itself.

So it's no surprise, but all the more important to keep reaching out to your electeds if you're American, even if you live there but have no voting rights, to help them keep their resolve if they are trying to stand against leadership, or help convince them to move against them.

Wish I could say I was surprised, but I’m absolutely not
