I could barely sit straight one month postpartum and Rep. Brittany Pettersen (CO-7) flew across the country and dressed up (probably wore heels too?!) to go vote NO on this terrible budget resolution

Cant wait for all the outrage that she brought a baby to work! I mean, who does that... who brings their kids with them to work? Nobody does that. Well....
Brittany showing up with her baby spoke volumes. No new mom wants to fly with their infant while everyone is sick, and planes are colliding. 💙
GOP probably say she’s a bad mom who should have stayed at home.
America isnt a business. It’s not meant to be abused like one. What we need is a Mother, who sees this country as her child to rear and guide to being better than we used to be.
Brittany is a true patriot representing her constituency, showing up those disgraceful Republicans who are trying to hide from very disgruntled voters on both sides.
She fights, with the new little American in her arms🎯. In my day, long ago you got a golden 3 days before you had to return to work, or 5 for a caesarean….things are more compassionate now…😊🩺
Evans in Colorado who represents Puerto Rican supposedly didn’t even sign the letter to say no to Medicaid cut and his district has the most Medicaid in Colorado people are going to be at his house 24 seven! You should’ve done something but he didn’t!
The optics of the moment are iconic though. She knew what it could mean to stand there, as a mother, holding her child for all to see as she voted. Bold.
As a woman who nearly died due to post partum complications (HELLP syndrome), her bravery and dedication are epic. Thank you Rep. Petterson. The few beacons of hope are keeping me going.
Not only does this budget steal from the American people but it sets the foundation for this century's Holocaust. For the purge of those in nursing homes, assisted living homes and seriously ill people. 77 million people are on medicaid. These cuts mean certain death for thousands if not millions.
What happened to the guy that voted remotely when he was in California for a talk show? Priorities? Poor young mom shouldn’t have had to do this, monsters 👹
The party of family values and prolife wouldn’t let her vote remote so she had to drag her baby thru the germy nasty dangerous airports to do this job . Those patriarchy bastards
It’s not a big deal. Poor people do this all the time. I was a waitress until a week before giving birth. I went back when my baby was one month old. I NEEDED THE MONEY !!!
And NONE of those fascist, misogynistic, weak etc Republicans in Congress have NO WHERE near the strength she has, to do what she did shortly after giving birth! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drGx7JkFSp4
Her district is located in a fun part of CO, near big time ski towns and several 14ers. Betting son will race for the USMNST, go mom, sorry Madam Congresswoman.
I don’t know, I kind of feel like it’s her job and she’s getting paid to do it. I have gotten up and gone to work when not feeling right a million times. Because it was my job and I was getting paid. Are we at the point where just showing up is a great achievement?
It is her job. But she is 1 month postpartum she could do her job remotely for this vote. You’re making our point. In a decent country she would be allowed to do her job (vote)while on maternity leave remotely. Giving birth isn’t the same for everyone. There should be exceptions for new mothers
MAGA is just fine with this, having a mother risk her health and the health of her baby because they would not allow her to vote from home. MAGA just love babies right up to the point before they are born. Heard Nancy Mace wanted to check the sex of the baby😁
Democratic congresspersons are clearly tougher than snowflake Trump party congresspersons. No doubt the Trump Party types could not believe somebody could be that tough, especially in service of a principle like duty.
The men will never know how incredible and hard that is. I could see it as a giant front page spread, but we've all gone digital, and there's no widely spread source now. Fox won't air this. Its audience used to read a dialy newspaper or watch network news. They are naive, trusting Fox.
I kind of wish it was meal time and not nap time for the wee one. Watching a bunch of fragile white men squirm in their seats as she breast feed her babe would have been excellent.

Not able to miss work due to financial constraints, my second daughter slept in Pac ‘n Play at my job weeks after her birth.
Strong women do what we have to do to make it work. In turn, we raise other strong women.✊🏼
They. Do. Not. Care.
Anyway, TY Rep. Pettersen. Shero!
