TRIBUTE THREAD FOR REP JAYAPAL!!

[cilla4progress]

Head of the Congressional Progressive Caucus!!

Not only has she almost single-handedly pulled off these negotiations on the House side, but she is SPLAININ' IT in a way that both SELLS IT and EXCITES!! Confidence-building. Now, don't go breaking my heart Senate!!

[Hekate]

1. She's good & I remain impressed with her

[Deuxcents]

3. Me, too

I expect her to be a candidate for Speaker. I hope Ms Pelosi is mentoring her.

[Lovie777]

2. I just read something totally different ..

?????

[cilla4progress]

[Hoyt]

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. +1

[Joinfortmill]

10. Awesome.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. "almost pulled off these negotiations"

"almost" being the key word.

The infrastructure bill vote was cancelled, yet again.

[cilla4progress]

14. Yeah...

pulling for the progressives tonght.

They deserve our respect and thanks.

[NJCher]

12. She is consistently upbeat

One of her many traits I like.

Another is that she is a clear communicator.

[cbabe]

15. My hero.

[BlueLucy]

16. A bit premature.

Manchin and Sinema do not give a rats ass if it all falls apart and dies. They likely prefer it. I'm not saying progressives shouldn't negotiate, they should! Progressive have constituents that want them to fight just as Manchin has his and Sinema... Well she just doesn't stand for anything but herself.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

17. Is she great!? or what?

She has stuck to her guns when it comes to only voting on the Infrastructure bill at the same time as the more progressive bill still being hashed out. Sorry, I can't remember the name of it....Build Back Better? Anyway, with all the shenanigans that Manchin and Senema have been playing, she has refused to fall for their tricks. It's both bills or no bills.. Hooray for her!

[cilla4progress]

18. I agree, BKG!

No matter what, she is standing strong, putting in great effort, and does it all with a dignified yet warm manner.

You know who else I like? Katie Porter and Cori Bush. Amirite?

And of course, the one and only AOC. Our squad!! Vastly underrated!

Lots of other greats in the Progressive Caucus, too! They excite me!

[demosurvivor]

19. The progressive part of the party

continues to impress me.

[Uncle Joe]

20. Kicked and recommended.
