Every single time. Republicans vote against progress then try to take credit when it passes, despite their stringent resistance. Yes, it’s great news. No, you had nothing to do with making it happen and in fact tried your best to block it.

Kavanaugh hanging out with some real grade-A freaks here, but again, it’s inappropriate to question the impartiality of Supreme Court justices

FYI The FCC has opened a rulemaking proceeding to require mobile wireless providers to block illegal text messages, a common path for fraud. I will be following up with FCC and Jessica Rosenworcel to make sure they put strong rules in place to stop the surge in robotexts.
