@Duckworth.senate.gov was terrific. Talked about how Vets never would leave a comrade behind and so now will fight for Vets in VA facilities being cut and left behind.

Then tonight heard @joan-c-williams.bsky.social at @politicsprose.bsky.social on her latest, Outclassed. She argues that working people are angry because no one has done much for them in decades. Are liberal and progressive Dems willing to center working class people and issues?
