Including Sen. Al Franken and an unnamed republican member of Congress.

I just don't know what we can do about it. The 25th amendment is a very high hurdle and impeachment isn't going to happen under this republican-controlled Congress.

I understand.... I went from not being able to stomach the sight of him during the campaign to waking up every morning and checking the news to see what he has done crazy overnight. I used to have the TV off all day.... not anymore. Afraid to miss something now.

I have a republican senator and congressman who pay no attention to their constituents. Our democratic senator is wonderful (Bob Casey) but democrats just don't have the numbers (yet). I have made countless (unanswered) calls, sent emails and tweets, and sent about a dozen postcards. I really feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

He has been there a freakin' month already.... I hope people don't start to lose interest in protesting and mobilizing.

Me, too. Those of us paying attention are feeling unmoored. I am furious adigal Feb 2017 #1
