Cory Booker, Chris Murphy, Jeff Merkley, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Brian Schatz, talking healthcare Kids, if you want to counteract that suspicion that the USA has become a hopeless Crapsack Dystopia, go read this nifty Twitter thread by Ben Wikler, the Washington director for MoveOn. It's about a Cool Thing That Happened on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Monday night after New Jersey Senator Cory Booker and actual national treasure Rep. John Lewis sat down to do a Facebook Live stream about Democratic opposition to the Republicans' plan to kill Obamacare. It started off pretty small, just the two of them talking policy like a couple of policy nerds while inside the Senate, Dems held the floor in another talkathon against the Better Not Expect Republicans To Care plan:
This is what democracy looks like. Accept no substitutes.
Corey Booker is my senator; I've visited his office more than once. His staff went above and beyond to accommodate the many groups from the Women's March who made his office the first stop on the long road to the Resistance. They gave us great advice, and they set up an email alert so that we get breaking news from his office at the same time (or maybe even before) the press does.
Like all politicians he's not perfect, but I'm damn proud of him at this moment.
If these Alt-White people are so superior, what are they afraid of ? Do the NE Patriots get all scairdy in their panties when they play Little Sisters of the Poor ?
But they do advise other Reps and Senators on issues which affect the District. Yeah, it may not be a full on vote, but they do have the ear of other officials on the Hill.
OT: But Christ, he was a pain in the ass during an interview. Maybe I caught him on a bad night or asked stupid questions, but I got nothing but glare from hello to goodbye.
Or something. I'm pretty sure that's improper usage of false flag but I only speak wingnut at an elementary school level. Or maybe a toddler level; now that I think about it, elementary level might be the highest.

And John Lewis - my god - a living legend.
That's a lot of teeth in that last pic.
No we don't. Pleeeze a splain 'us. With a power point !

Troll trolling?
We do have to pay for our boob jobs if we're going bigger, so our healthcare system's not all it's cracked up to be. And our eyejobs.
and on the fact that it's hard to find a decent 'maudit anglais' anymore.
Wow. Almost sounds like the West Coast. (So far.)
None dare call it...conspiracy!
She is still the Queen of DC, and may she always be.

I have a HUGE crush on Sen. Booker. That is all.

Problem is you usually have to.
Ah, thanks. I always thought they were one and the same.
