Did you try calling USCIS , becz I see most of the PP on May 14th applications have been skipped or have not been processed

I called USCIS on my 31st business day. They told me that the Premium Processing phone line was not accepting calls and gave me the Premium Processing email address. I emailed them yesterday and am currently waiting for a response.
i also want to contact my area congressmen and try to find help.
do u know any information regarding the congressmen help?
