Why Is Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Meeting Privately With Barr

[Me.]

Lest we forget, she voted for him.

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema to meet with Attorney General William Barr, but won't say why or when

“Sen. Kyrsten Sinema is scheduled to meet one-on-one with Attorney General William Barr next week, but her spokeswoman could not say what she wants to discuss or what day the meeting would occur.

Sinema, D-Ariz., requested a meeting with Barr came after his combative hearing May 1 before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where he defended his view that Special Counsel Robert Mueller and his team gathered insufficient evidence to show President Donald Trump obstructed justice during its probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election and potential obstruction of justice.

Sinema issued a rare, direct rebuke against the president's claim of executive privilege to prevent House lawmakers from obtaining Mueller's complete report.
"The president's assertion of executive privilege — with the Attorney General's support — undermines what should be our shared goal of protecting America from foreign influence and meddling in our elections," Sinema said in a written statement earlier this month."

We can reverse course if necessary.

6. Hello Loki,

I went there because she is my Representative. I supported her election efforts as well. It is my duty to participate as a citizen and voter.

I would hope that women's rights are represented vocally and in action by both males and females of our party.

National Women’s Political Caucus Stands Against Abortion Restrictions Nationwide

NWPC is appalled by the recent attacks on women’s reproductive freedom. Since the beginning of 2019, 30 states have introduced legislation that impacts a woman’s right reproductive decisions.
Most recently, the Alabama Senate passed a measure that intends to ban abortions, even in the case of rape and incest. This legislation criminalizes the doctor who performs an abortion with up to 99 years in prison. Last week, Alabama’s Governor Kay Ivey signed the bill into law.

“These attacks on women must be stopped,” said Donna Lent, National President.

“We must continue to fight against these barbaric and repressive laws that attempt to strip women of their bodily autonomy. NWPC has spent nearly fifty years fighting for a woman’s right to choose. We succeeded with Roe and we will continue to fight against these abhorrent attacks which do nothing more than punish women!”

Roe v. Wade is the landmark Supreme Court decision of 1973 that protects women’s “right to privacy” and freedom to have an abortion.

“Abortions are still legal in all fifty states and the NWPC will continue to fight alongside our sister organizations to uphold a woman’s right to privacy and abortions,” continued Lent.

“Attacks on women’s rights further demonstrates the essential role of NWPC in recruiting, training, and electing pro-choice women.”

that required a strong volunteer effort from our Democratic Party, activist organizations, and the various women's organizations.

Needless to say, campaigns for the Senate require more money to win than they should. Twenty years ago, my priority was to get "big" money out of all our elections, city, county, state and federal.
just my 2 cents correction to correct title

10. she's there till 2024 regardless

8. she is vying with Manchin for the (by far) highest Trump score in the Senate

Almost all the other high scoring Dems were beaten and are no longer in the Senate, and she is actually far ahead of Joe as she is pro Trump 21 points higher that she should be as predicted by her state, versus Manchin being MINUS 34
