🔥"Unprecedented Heat." 🔥

With increasing alarm, this is the phrase being used repeatedly to describe the current state of Planet Earth, not just in the Mediterranean, but in just about every place throughout the globe.

Wake up, Earthlings.

#SenateDems -- Do. Not. Cave. In.

#WeThePeople
This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.
