"We need a government that doesn't exhaust us." Perfectly said. I mean, everything is a shit show, but it'd feel less exhausting if the people we elected were more visibly trying to stop it.

I am so, so glad you took this back up at the end of your day. The president and every Democrat in leadership need to read this.

Adam Schiff is my rep. You’ve captured exactly how I feel. How 81 million of us feel. I’ll be heading to his office today to explain how we feel once again. Thank you for this letter.

1000% agreement. You need to have a mtg with Joe. And you IMO should be the DNC Chair. My god!! As a Canadian I saw the slow immolation of your democracy since Paul Ryan did f*k all about trump. These last few days I see only the fall of your democracy. Hitler came to power by use of legal means. GOP fascists are doing the same and will not stop. They've played the long game while Dems sit back. I hope Dems wake up. Time is up.
