22. Manny… of course this makes sense...

…So, why can't we think a bit more strategically by building the Senate necessary for looking deeply at policy?

No one seems to be too upset about how we let this present day SCOTUS get it's focus, do we? Yet, we had weak and unchecked work to let this happen.

It's a long season, and it isn't going to turn around unless we start to recognize that.

BTW, what's that sticker doing in your sig?
