Today I presided over the House floor for the first time.
Every day here is a sacred privilege + responsibility entrusted to me by my community. I never forget that, and moments like these drive it home.
Thank you to the people of NY14 + beyond. This House belongs to all of us. https://t.co/EPW5vP3lrP

Someday, if she’s not president or VP first!
More Chitter chatter, news, videos and tweets in the comments. TGIF Happy Hour!
Tip jar for the usual bartenders…
T and R, Benny!! Fingers and toes are like major x’ed (Valley Girl voice) that AOC will keep her head on straight thru all this attention. And. Get. Corrupted? Not!
Biden demonstrates how not to design a climate plan
He’s just floatin’ along, high on the money and power.
Thank you Meteor Blades! Gawd I miss him, really the only person I miss over there.
Inslee also had some choice words for Joe

Doesn’t appear AOC will be supporting Joe now in the primaries, not that she was enthusiastic about his candidacy to begin with.
Barf on Biden!

The last sentence is a little strong, but he has a point.
TYT is going to be roasting Biden over the stale climate change plans.

The article did not mention (and should have) that Gillibrand sponsored legislation last year to create postal banks.

But Bernie Sanders hasn’t accomplished anything! /s
Bernie talked about this idea during the 2016 campaign. Glad to see it finally getting some attention.
Bernie has backed expanding the role of the post office to banking for years. He emphasized the post offices in rural areas. I heard it many times on the “Brunch with Bernie” raps he did on Thom Hartmann’s shows. Coupling it with cracking down on payday loan crooks is brilliant. 🙂
I <3 this song!

Great read, Benny. Thanks.
Heh heh, quite a meltdown.
Lol, that was great. The interviewer’s last statement was so beautifully done, and I think it went over Shapiro’s head.
