Huge news! The #BuildBackBetter Act includes EVERY eligible provision of my #Momnibus Act! Thank you @POTUS & @VP for championing these historic investments to save moms' lives and advance maternal health equity! I'm looking forward to voting for this critical legislation soon.

She worked in Obama's White House and overcame what I viewed as huge odds to win her seat TWICE in a Red District. 
In Pennsylvania, my home-state, if not hometown, which is Philly. I've been in the Chicago area for over 20 years now,, but Pennsylvania seems to have grown more Republican...Who is your useless.R? :
my town (Wauconda) was also part of the 6th, and I was so passed when they put us in the 14th because it was so Republican..Well, now, as was mentioned upthread, they are enlarging the 14th, so you may be included..Hope for your sake you are. 
...Sean Casten, who seems to be OK, but not as impressive as Underwood. My husband and I worked for someone else in the 6th primary, Kelly Mazeski, who probably would have won the primary if there hadn't been too damn many people running - 7 in all. Less than 2000 votes separated Casten and Mazeski, and the remaining 5 candidates split almost 30,000 votes amongst them, none of then coming even close to the top 2. The bottom 2 didn't even crack 3000 votes each.
It frustrates me when candidates with no chance stay in, and stay in, and stay in. Selfish and egotistical, IMO.
Our little town of Algonquin was featured in a newspaper as a Republican strionghold. 
How do you know these things when you live in Texas?
I live in Connecticut! 
I was wondering what made me think you were from Texas, and I think its that I checked your profile and it said you had a couple of posts in the Texas forum.
Are you originally from Connecticut?..My sister lived there with her family for decades.
Back at ya!
Other politicians and pundits who like to tweet a lot frequently put their focus almost entirely on everything negative... blaming Biden (instead of Republicans), shitting on Biden (instead of Republicans), shitting on Democrats, smearing on party leadership. (What a waste! How counter-productive.)
I really like Lauren Underwood's approach. She's a doer, a go-getter... she's results oriented! She understands that legislation is much more important that getting new twitter followers and re-tweets of provocative posts. 
So much negativity surrounding this bill - today particularly.
I'm so old I remember the same shite before the ACA was passed. This also is a BFD. 
(well, most of them).
