Once again, I asked my Republican colleagues to stop endangering all the Senate workers - and simply wear a mask when presiding over the Senate.
Once again, they refused.
I used to cry because I was so afraid when I was younger because I felt that all the odds were stacked against me. I have lost faith many times, but today I am pausing to be grateful for where I am and what I get to do everyday. It is beyond anything I would have ever imagined.
