I tried both several times this morning. Senator Klobuchar’s mailbox was full and Senator Smith’s phone system sounded like two tin cans connected with a string. Angie Craig’s office answered.

I thought it was just my phone. After a couple of tries I got a clear call with Klobuchar's office and was able to leave a voicemail. I tried Smith's office a few times but only got the garbled answering machine. I'll keep trying.

Degraded audio quality usually means volume is higher than allotted bandwidth.

Did Musk assume control of Congressional telephone systems now?

I was able to leave a message but both Klobuchar and Tina’s messages sounded horrible, like really bad service.

I emailed them both about their bs vote to confirm Doug Burgum and received a copy paste response from Amy. Nothing from Tina. Absolute cowards and I hope everyone here is ready to push for a progressive candidate in their respective primaries.

Is it high call volume, or a deliberate attack? I hope it's the former.

I got through to a Klobuchar staffer this morning, but had to leave a message for Smith. Audio on her line sounded like it was under water.

I emailed both regarding Musk’s illegal takeover of government agencies and received a disappointing cookie cutter response from both.

I emailed them both and the response from Amy was quite cookie cutter

I called Emmer and asked if he was going to continue to allow Trump and Elon Musk to destroy our global standing. Pretty sure my message is going straight in the bin.

CDK for car dealers is down, too. Last time, it was a cyber attack.

I emailed Amy three separate times for three separate issues and got this in response separately to each
Thank you for taking the time to contact me. I appreciate hearing from you on this important matter, and I will keep your views in mind as relevant legislation and other decisions related to this issue come before the Senate.
I continue to be humbled to be your Senator, and one of the most important parts of my job is listening to the people of Minnesota. I am here in our nation’s capital to do the public’s business. I hope you will contact me again about matters of concern to you.

They're just rerouting their phone lines directly to the Cheney family.

I tried this morning, and I got the answering machine, but it sounded like a VOIP issue as the audio was very choppy.

I wish you all were DDoS level active when it actually mattered instead of when they're clearly making strategic moves over stuff that doesn't actually matter.
You guys are clearly being manipulated by people who don't want Democrats to win elections.
