Ok, new rule if you are going to have files that you don’t want your boss to see (which is what classified documents basically are) you can’t bring them home anymore. You have to leave them secured somewhere at the office. You have lost that privilege…
Kyrsten Sinema vs. Kari Lake has got to be way down the line in terms of things that happen before we decide maybe this particular experiment in self-government didn’t quite pan out.
It should be free.

It is vitally important that Congress act to adopt the Tentative Agreement reached earlier this fall between railroad companies and union representatives, preventing a rail shutdown that would have devastating impacts on our economy.

My opponent just voted against the Presidential Election Reform Act, which prevents coup attempts like the one that occurred on January 6, 2021. He still hasn’t rejected Trump’s endorsement, and he continues to carry his water.

Again I’m reminded how blessed my career in political middle management has been. Working for Bill Bradley I got to body Bill Russell. He was dignity personified and I believe he was one of the greatest humans this nation produced. May he rest in power.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.

Fun fact: The size of The Supreme Court has been changed 6 times in our history. It’s as if the founders wanted a check in case a bunch of judges were named by Presidents who didn’t win a majority of the popular votes.

The starting salary for a Des Moines Police Officer is $80k a year, yet the starting salary for a Des Moines Public School Teacher is around $40k.
Teachers need a 4-year degree, cops just need a few months of training. Teachers actually help people, cops don’t.

I may be the most optimistic Democrat in PA, because I see all of you and what you are capable of.
