Indivisibles,
Congressional recess isn’t a vacation — it’s an accountability tour. From Friday, February 14, through Sunday, February 23, your House Representative will be back home, trying to dodge tough questions, meet with donors, and sneak back to DC without facing the people they were elected to serve.
WHY THIS RECESS MATTERS
Trump and his billionaire cronies — including Elon Musk — are gutting democracy and looting the country while Republicans help them and too many Democrats hesitate.
💰 Musk now has direct control over U.S. Treasury payments — because apparently, being the world’s richest man isn’t enough.
🏦 Trump’s MAGA lackeys shut down the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, letting banks, payday lenders, and debt collectors run wild.
🍽️ House Republicans are pushing an extremist budget that slashes food assistance, healthcare, and housing programs — while carving out billion-dollar tax breaks for their wealthy donors.
⚖️ JD Vance declared the courts illegitimate if they try to stop Trump. They aren’t even pretending anymore.
And while all of this unfolds, House Republicans are trying to ram through an extremist budget that rips food off tables and puts education and healthcare out of reach — while handing over control of government funding to Elon Musk. They’re slashing programs that help families afford rent, childcare, and healthcare and stripping resources from the very agencies that keep corporations in check. This isn’t governance; it’s outright theft.
They think they can get away with it because people won’t notice. That’s where we come in.
THE PLAN: PRESSURE. DISRUPT. EXPOSE.
This recess is about making Republicans sweat and making sure Democrats stand firm. We’re showing up, speaking out, and refusing to let anyone dodge responsibility. They work for us, and they will hear from us.
HOW YOU CAN TAKE ACTION
On Tuesday, the planning team will be finalizing a plan to SHOW UP at Tim Burchett’s office with no advance warning so they can’t run away. In the meantime, we need your help to keep office phones ringing off the hook to stop the GOP’s extremist budget meant to bankrupt working families:
-
If you have a Republican representative, make a call and force them to answer for supporting a budget that will slash lifesaving programs their constituents count on just to line the pockets of billionaires like Musk. https://indivisible.org/resource/call-now-demand-your-republican-representative-reject-trumps-budget-sabotage?akid=116028.268761.VHHEIi&rd=1&t=12&utm_medium=_20250214&utm_source=email
-
If you have a Democratic representative, give them a call and urge them to use every ounce of leverage they have in the funding right to stop the worst of their attacks.

Every Republican who backs this coup must feel the heat. Every Democrat who fights back must feel our support.
Let’s make them listen.
