The way it works, for better or worse, is that the Senate creates rules of conduct and then abides by and (too often in recent years) interprets those rules in ways that are both unethical and (therefore?) downright destructive to its major role in our constitutional republic. We can’t just look at the willful chaos of the House, but need to apply pressure to our Senators. Chuck Schumer and Co recently did this nation a huge disservice when they refused to press votes on Military Promotions in Tuberville’s absence. A gentleman’s agreement with a snake? You bring a big club or a cage to deal with a snake.
I’m from Georgia and I personally worked long hours to elect Senators Ossoff and Warnock, and I’m still exhausted from that effort. I’m on hiatus from active work, and overwhelmed with family and health, and I have hope.. but it’s not enough.
But.. I still live by this, and I encourage you all to do what you can with whatever you got. Make the calls to your electeds to keep the pressure on. Donate the money and/or time to Expand the Majority. And most importantly, support each other. We’re stronger together. Our voices.
Penny, thank you so much for all your efforts to elect Osshoff and Warnock. I did what I could from here in MN but I know how much blood, sweat and sheer effort it took on the ground. (Been there. Done that.)
Take care of yourself and your family and know how much you are appreciated in my small blue corner of the North. Without you and thousands like you, our situation would be that much more devastating. I see you and appreciate you!
Penny, I understand your exhaustion. I have been there many times. Your long hours put forth to get two very important people elected was not in vain. So I want to thank you and everyone else for bringing some sanity to our nation. Be well.
Penny, agree with others here to take care of yourself…what is the saying?….put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others. Well, here’s to light breezes of clear, fresh oxygen and energy coming your way to replenish you.
Penny, I echo everyone's thanks for your service. You've beautifully expressed the exhaustion of activism. We're all down to fumes—but a post like yours makes me want to keep doing SOMETHING every day.

Hang in there, Penny thanks for your huge effort in Georgia. It say the Senate.
