3-4 passengers. That is unusual for a suicide bomber. Maybe bombers screwed up? We haven't heard speculation about who did it.

I'm so angry. We vote for these people to represent us. We expect them to protect us and vote for things that make our lives better. What have these eight people done? Some people will get paychecks. Millions will lose health Care. That equation is not difficult to understand.

Durbin says don't criticize me. You don't know how the Senate works. Does that mean Tammy Duckworth doesn't know or Bernie Sanders doesn't know? They didn't betray the people. You're full of s*** Dick Durbin.

His response is not a defense of his vote even if he thinks it is.
This is really telling! It doesn't work like that anymore, bud. None of it works like that — even if it did on Jan. 19.

Yes, we do.
This is a bad deal, and the old way of doing things is clearly not working.
We need new leaders in the Senate.
