Another media outlet was there but I don't know who.
Mary Schaffer said (on FB): "We made The Rachel Maddow show!!!"
At Kelly's office, they let 3 people go in and talk with a Kelly representative while the rest signed in to let them know we were there. The three people representing us came back and reported. First, that Kelly’s office had no clear plan about what to do about Musk. Second, they couldn’t shut the senate down or not vote for some nominees. Third, they wanted to speak with the head of the groups we were representing.
After about a half an hour at the Federal Building, the group marched to Gallego's office, where a representative was already waiting outside with about a dozen clipboards full of comment forms for people to fill out. Many people filled out the forms and also spoke to the representative at length.
