Democrats passing a bill in the dark of night.

But, because Faux and the further right media are focusing only on Dr. Seuss and Potato Head, Republican voters don't even know what's going on.

White tears because they are giving him back some of what he/they have done for years. Bite me, Mitch. Give it and you will get it back 10 fold.

Who knew a repuke actually had the ability to read at a second grade level. I thought they were still on Sesame Street learning their abc's.



I wish I knew how to send this to them all!

(Madison is originally from Dayton so there's that... )

He at least shows how yes, you can still elect Democrats at the statewide level in OH in this day and time when so many have fled the state (like my BIL and some of his siblings and friends).

(and certainly wealthy) to do "public service" using that route.

I would think there are some saavy Democrats in the state legislature who could try to raise their profile and be in place to at least replace Portman!

People have reactions that are all over the map, when the reaction should be very positive.

This bill is great. Wish it could have a $15 minimum wage, but it wasn’t going to happen. Doesn’t mean that is dead.

This has things to help with health care, schools, transportation. Etc. Reps were right to criticize it because it has a lot for the liberal agenda in it.

happen to one or more of our Dem Senators. And I can't help thinking Rs are delaying partly because they're hoping for this. The other part because they're sociopaths.
