Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.
And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.
Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

I always thought running was torture. But a charitable cause inspired me to train for a marathon in Hawaii. I did it; I still think running is awful.
I never liked running, but I challenged myself to run a marathon. I completed my goal and still think running is torture.

Y'all... Today is the final day to count votes in North Carolina and NC Senate 18 is going to be decided by just a few votes.
They're not finished yet – and this is well within the recount threshold – but this just proves again that *every single vote* matters!

My 2 cents. Find every news source the has an RSS feed or equivalent and create accounts that that show their public deeds on here under @johndoetimesfeed
That way we all get access to news without having to wait for them to create accounts first.
