This morning #ICalledMyReps and they wouldn't pick up.
Thom Tillis has several offices in NC.
All of their phones are shut down. There's a "we just help with hurricane Florence stuff! Stay safe!" message & no way to leave a voicemail.

Which is funny, bc they were answering their phones when I called to them last week. They weren't "shut down for a hurricane that ended weeks ago" back then. 
This has nothing to do with Florence. This is a communications shutdown because they *don't want to hear from constituents.*

3. The FBI investigation has been completed w/ over 40 people not being interviewed. We cannot forget this as we're calling our Senators.
All: Tomorrow is going to be tense day for all of us. Remember: NONE of you are alone. If you need a pep talk or cat pictures, ping me.
Also remember: we're all frustrated and angry with how the hearings are proceeding, but let's focus on what we CAN do at the moment.

Our part in this can be broken down into a few steps:
1. Calling any senators we have on judiciary, and demand they question vigorously.
2. Telling our Senators to vote no.
3. Pushing for state-level protections, a la MA's Nasty Women Act.
4. Getting 5 others to do 1-3.

If you can do a little more and are in driving distance of D.C. - consider joining the protests. Let the Senate know we're watching. To paraphrase @benwikler, the more

Tomorrow, our president is meeting with the man who "ordered an influence campaign…to undermine public faith in the US democratic process, denigrate Secretary Clinton, and harm her electability and potential presidency.” (IC ICA). Everyone must SCREAM at their electeds tomorrow.
“Russia’s intelligence services conducted cyber operations against targets associated with…the election” like the “primary campaigns, think tanks, and lobbying groups they viewed as likely to shape future US policies.” (IC ICA)
