Interesting, my Congresswoman announced she is not running again. She has done good work, but is aged. I am toying with the idea of running for that office as establishment politicians seem to simply ignore their constituents in many cases. Not sure I have the energy, but it may be worth it.

🚨 Tim Kaine is saying the quiet part out loud - underscoring why anyone shouldn't be satisfied with any of the "no" statements or posts from Dem Senators.
If Dem Senators are truly disgusted with this save they should be calling on #SurrenderSchumer to step aside as the Leader immediately.
