The Congresswoman is correct in her assessment of the situation and her imploring her fellow Republicans to speak up and break their silence. Enough is enough

Sen. Chuck Schuer? He's going to have a tough time getting re-elected as signed on to the rethug CR that IMO helped trump get elected AGAIN. Rep. Jeffries has not been that visible also.

But add Reps. AOC and Jasmine Crockett to the Dem women who are showing leadership.

She was in state politics before this. Now in her second term in Oregon’s 6th district. Yeah. We got a new district up here a few years ago. Oregon must be growing. Good to see her move up.
