Now, I’m going to do something I don’t usually do. But because the REPUBLIC IS IN DANGER AND I NEED THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO ACT LIKE IT, I’m going to juxtapose Senator Markey’s private statements with his public press conference.

I, too, am ready to be bold in defense of the EPA and all I hold dear.
And I really need you and other elected representatives to step up NOW and take decisive action to get Elon Musk’s law-breaking dweebs out of OPM. As in physically out of there. They’re stealing data right now!

REP. TONKO: We're hoping to build [???] but I don't know of them yet, but [???} uh...
SEN. MARKEY: Crongress is a stimulus response institution and there's nothing more stimulating than millions of Americans, wakin' up and finding out. Their healthcare, their environment is being gutted [1:1/?]

First, THANK YOU. You are a real hero. Second, Markey was RUDE to you. Third, I remember his last reelection campaign when he was about being the "dealmaker." Democrats are really coming off like losers. It's disheartening, infuriating. I don't want to see another fundraising text, email, letter.
