We can and must do more in every election, every year and at every level of government, to prevent her harmful hopes for America's future from being actualized.

Rep. Jack Patrick Lewis @RepJackLewis

Gov. Huckabee Sanders' GOP response to the #StateOfTheUnion fanned flames of division and bigotry, appealing to our worst fears instead of our highest ideals. Her remarks were an assault on transgender Americans, and her hatred of our families must never go unchallenged. #mapoli

So let me get this straight: MAsen is taking up the option to get rid of term limits for our (current) union busting Senate President and our dem super majority might be okay with it do I have the right?

Great thread & please complete the action item at the end! #mapoli

Progressive Mass @ProgressiveMass
