  1. Oh, it’s OK, let’s not get hung up on these terms. Even if I don’t agree with the views of this or that “refugee” in Congress, isn’t it so groovy that, in our wonderful nation, a refugee can become a Member of Congress?! What a country! La mejor! Gracias a nuestro Señor! Amén.

  2. What an amazing photo! Ileana , & I were the first 3 Latinas in Congress, and I'm proud of how we were able to work side-by-side & across-the-aisle. It's even more exciting to continue that partnership with 12 Latina sisters in the !

  3. Groovy! I’m no longer in Congress but my bills live on! We almost passed my pro-Israel bill. I passed it easily in the House. One Senator blocked it from being heard. Now will push it thru! Hurrah!

    Pls watch farewell video. This is her last day after representing our community in Cong for almost 30 yrs. She put her constituents & principles over Party. These days, I’m asked why I’m Republican. It’s b/c of leaders like her, of whom sadly, there are less today.

    Mansplaining exists, especially in Congress. “In every committee hearing, inevitably, a woman would start to speak and then a male member would interrupt as if she is incapable of expressing her thought and opinion.” -

  10. Hurrah, ! I fought every year to defund UNESCO in our Congressional budget and we were successful most of the time but these crooks managed to get many Congressional backers because they name pretty places as historical sites as they slam Israel every day.
