Just heard Gillibrand on the radio talking family leave. She...

speaks well of it and is armed with all the numbers.

The problem l have is that she speaks from our side and doesn't thoroughly destroy the other. I know its difficult in 10 minutes to do any more than just make your case, but Manchin has yet to explain why we are so low on the list.

We're just around Pago Pago in parental leave and light years from Denmark.

I’m generally not one to hold a grudge but I’m making an exception for her.

I was mad about it then and I was even mad at Mazie for a little while. She heard it.
