My steelworker family was extremely proud of my working my way through college. Relieved that my degree would get me a job with benefits and a reduced chance of dying in an industrial accident.

"My message to the rest of the Democratic Party is if you are not willing to meet that bar, then step aside for somebody who will. Because we're at a moment right now where we do need people who are willing to fight, willing to show some spine, willing to break through in this media environment."

Not exactly surprising. They’re just so bad at it!

🤣🤣🤣 I heard that.

Oh look! He got their attention!

The representative from McDonald Island has tried to filibuster our renaming of the island but did not have the same stamina as @booker.senate.gov and stood for only 24 minutes.
