(9,808 posts)My rep is 90% great, and 10% clueless rich boy, and he knows he's in a safe district, so the risks he takes tend to be hippie punching instead of punching up. My senator is good, but so back-bench and self-effacing he fades into the wallpaper. Motivating them to action feels like herding cats. But they can be motivated. And that's true of all of them.
Light up their official phones, warm up their twitter boxes, remind them we're behind them and expect them to lead from the front. And praise them when they show up. Positive reinforcement works, even when it feels undeserved. They get a lot of crap, so they need all the attaboys we can manage.
I miss Mark Udall at times like these.

Republicans are refusing to stand up to Bannon.
SLOW THE SENATE TO A CRAWL.
Four days on absolutely everything. EVERYTHING. Every. Last. Thing.
Four days.
