Lauren Underwood presiding over the House for the last hour or so...

[George II]

With a dearth of real news on CNN and MSNBC, I usually find myself watching the House proceedings.

Representative Underwood has been presiding for more than an hour, and damn, it seems like she's been doing this for decades - smooth and professional.

I'm quite impressed.

1. Great to hear

I don't know her. Where is she from?

[The Magistrate]

2. Illinois

She beat Oberweiss, a rich right-wing freak whose been trying for office for years, generally losing Republican primaries.

She's a keeper....

4. Awesome!

Ty for sharing!

[George II]

3. She's represents the western suburbs of Chicago, this is only her second term.

6. one of the Chi suburban districts that flipped to blue in 2018

Along with Casten in IL-6 (my district), they both retained their seats in 2020.

5. K & R pity MSNBS doesn't enlighten us with Underwood, Davids & Dems who are actually worth hearing

I'd love to hear from them as to what policy they've been writing & moving through congress, the urgency they see with their constituents, & their own brilliant visions for America.

Instead we see the same faces with the same scripts weekly, daily & several times a day.
As tho they are the only people in Congress.

We have some bright, educated, degreed & worthy congressmen & women worth listening too.

Media has failed the American citizens more than anything else.

They've become redundant & boring, as they select who we see & what message is moved like any authoritarian propaganda messaging system.

Media is worthless.

7. Could you care to name a few of these Democrats you feel are "scripted"

"several times a day"?

Lauren Underwood has been on Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell's show, by the by. I obviously don't watch as much as you so I'm curious as to these others on all day.

Thanks in advance.

8. I don't watch MSNBC/MSM anymore. The websites & twitter feeds of these bright Dems will post...

...the TV interview the few times they are actually scheduled, without having to watch the entire Show.

They are invited occassionally but should be more often for their varied perspective alone.

Name them?
There are about 30+ that are hands down some of our most diligent, scholarly & detailed professionals, who sit on committees we should be hearing from.
They are legal detailed & policy wonks who could answer many questions & present info as to how some of our most critical policy is moving forward & how it benefits American citizens.

But that's not what, nor whom Corporate Media has decided American voters need to hear about.

Corporate Media has fkd this country right up.
They promote & play to a small sector of our nation & it is by design

9. No, I asked you....

About the scripted Dems "we" see all day.

we see the same faces with the same scripts weekly, daily & several times a day.

Those were your words, so I can only assume these people you are sick of are easy to name.....even if you don't watch, of course....

10. LOL..

Nope..
I gave you my answer why MSM has become pointless.
