It's not a 1-800.

It should be just to get to the switchboard, but you have to look up your representative's phone number, but do it because it's worth it because fuck.

Leah, thank you.

Thank you.

That is our show for today.

Thank you, Leah Littman, for joining me.

Charlie Kirk's assassination deepened an already extraordinary political divide.

Members of both parties condemned the killing and they mourned Kirk's death, regardless of whether they agreed with his politics.

But Republicans quickly turned that tragedy into an attack line.

They flooded social media and they accused Democrats of celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, even though no elected Democrat actually did that.

Vance urged Americans not just to call out people celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, but to report them to their employers.

And Vance capped that off with a plea for civility.

A call for civility while masked ICE agents racially profile and detain people in unmarked vans.
