It very possibly could pass the senate if the democratic caucus can force a vote

My rep, Rep. Dean from PA, did the right thing. She’s a solid Democrat.

7. Zeldin is an abomination

I wish we could get a good candidate to take him down. For two cyxles, we've run crappy candidates. Gershoff too Hamptonite to carry a larhely working class sistrict and Goroff just didnt connect. We eat our own in 5 person primaries, ensuring acweakened candidate chosen by 1/3 of the primary voters.

I'm in Suozzi's district. He's a "Problem Solver" which makes him barely a Democrat, but still light years ahead of Zeldin.

6. the results from NC are disgusting.

Every Republican voted no and every Democrat voted yes, and there are hardly any Democrats from NC in the House.

We have a Democratic governor. I don't get it. Republicans in this state are horrid.

And hang that anchor around their neck since they care more about something else
than the people who voted them in office. Drain the swamp.
