If you weren't familiar w/ Sen. Metzenbaum, who retired in 1994, my wife @yeagerh.bsky.social, who covered him, made the case when he died in 2008 that he should rank with progressive icons like Wellstone and his eventual Senate successor, Sherrod Brown: prospect.org/article/midw...

Howard Metzenbaum, who died Wednesday at age 90, was a relentless, in-your-face senator who stood up for workers' rights and paved the way for the candidates who came after him.
