1. I'm with her and the squad on this. We can't let Sinema and Manchin run the party.

[Rhiannon12866]

2. Agreed. And I was very impressed with what she said tonight on the show

5. I'm very impressed by AOC's brains and leadership abilities.

As well as being super impressed that it was your clip that I was able to send to Holly when she wanted to know what headlines from her articles that I saw last night!

Once again, your restless work helped me out!

Thanks again triple-times, my dear friend!!!

6. Awww! Thanks so much! And I certainly agree, I was very impressed with her explanation

She's among our best and brightest and her constituents are so fortunate to have her. And best to Holly, tell her to keep up the stellar work!

7. Holly already said to tell you: Thank You

And I will love telling her, and my little Rose, that you said she does "stellar work" when they both come this weekend. They will both love it!

And I also promise to tickle little Rose's toes and make her giggle at my funny face in your honor!

[Rhiannon12866]

8. Awww, thank you! And congratulations to Holly!

You must be very proud - not that you weren't already!
