@eliehonig OK, so what? The evidence is not speaking loudly enough yet, I guess. Abraham Lincoln had it right:

Despair has no place at this table.
@fathorse23@Angry_Staffer It's not only about pressuring R's to astonishingly do right. It is even more about getting D's to suck it up and strike at the filibuster.
Most, most, most of all--it's just not surrendering. Resistors don't surrender.
@Tentoads4truth Until you've read this book, you are missing the engine behind all this seeming chaos. Oh, it's chaos, all right, but chaos with a purpose.
