Excuse me while I vent for a moment
SHE IS THE APPROPRIATIONS CHAIR. SHE CAN SUBPOENA OFFICIALS, HOLD TELEVISED HEARINGS, HOLD UP ANYONE’S FUNDING, ZERO OUT THE WHITE HOUSE’S FUCKING ICE CREAM AND DIET COKE BUDGET, AND ENFORCE THE APPROPRIATIONS LAWS THAT ARE THE SOURCE OF HER PERSONAL POWER.

Not clear how she manages in DC, but maybe a career change will help her manage such weighty decisions.
The thing about busy roads is that they go from busy places to other busy places.

She is literally a troll

fascist to their core with an endless array of rotating excuses on the surface to protect their fragile self image
Probably has "grave concerns" or whatever though
Personally, I capitalize some words occasionally for emphasis but would not do so for an entire post. :-D
The people of Maine should be ashamed
she is so insincere it's sickening.
What the hell is she afraid of?
I continue contacting R reps like this because I doubt those lost in Xitter echo chambers are & they clearly need advice.
Just like everyone who bends over for Trump.
Trash.
Huh? Yeah, betcha didn't think she would go there
No seriously, that hope for human goodness is what we all need more of and I love that about you.
Just don't waste any more #TREDS on Ms. Concerned, she's not worth yours, or any of ours.
FFS 🤬
If only clutching pearls could make one a gem…
GET THAT THROUGH YOUR HEAD AND STOP HOPING SHE WILL DO BETTER. SHE WON’T.
She’s no different than Tommy Tuberville, now quit with your whining. Have no expectations of her.
