Hey, Massachusetts--

You elect some awesome women! Rep. Katherine Clark and Sen. Elizabeth Warren

As a woman, it is thrilling to see so many women on the floor fighting for our lives. Our party is going to be greatly energized by this protest, and Rep. Clark deserves kudos for coming up with the idea.

And great job to all the Dems standing their ground. I had given up hope really! Fingers crossed this works!

Katherine Clark was a friend of mine in College. I roomed with her for a year and went to her wedding.

yesterday. I read that the sit-in was her idea and she approached John Lewis to ask him if he would lead it.

I'm really glad she's on our side and I think she will go on to do great things.

But seriously folks, until recently, Massachusetts did not, in my opinion, have a great record of electing women.

It's important to commend then in light of Paul Ryan's supreme assholeishness.

It was Rep. Clark who came up with the idea, and of course John Lewis was key to getting it underway. But it would not have been successful without the participation of all the others. WI rocks with three there!

Ryan is assholeish, but we still deeply appreciate WI!

It looks like they had some fun with very noble cause. After five years of dealing with obsessive Republican obstructionism, it finally looks like they had a therapeutic moment. I hope that revolutionary energy rolls over into the fall campaign.

This was just Berniesque
