Whew! Sen ⁦Tammy Duckworth

⁩ just said: l can’t believe Senators in this room are having pages bring them water at just the right temperature - with ice or not - but won’t vote to protect against a law that keeps ppl from receiving water on a voting line.

TRUTH - not the BS from Faux Spews, and we need to see MORE Democrats doing it - we need to grow the 'team' - not just 1 or 2 stepping up to the mic - but bunches of them. We've got WONDERFUL people serving - outstanding DEMOCRATS that deserve and NEED to be seen - this is a BIG team, a GREAT team (well, you know I'm not including Manchin and Sinema, right? ) - and we need to let everybody know it!

According to my elders, which would be Depression-Era FDR Democrats, the party was much more aggressive in their time, and I believe them.

I met her and Amy Klobuchar at an Emily‘s List gathering in Washington in 2006 (met Obama there for the first time, too). I was pretty sure all three of them would go far (was I right or was I right?). One of my daughters was interning at EL while in college in DC, and she invited me to come, since I was already a member of Emily‘s List.

My two Senators from Texas are awful, but in 2018, we flipped TX-32 blue and have so far kept it that way.

Not one. Either because they're OK with it, or they already assume the worst.
