Grow up, Pramila. Bullying and trolling are not really the role of members of Congress. You are a public servant. Act like it.
By the way, knitting is a skill. Acquiring some skills is part of a healthy, balanced life. I recommend this to you. No need to be hateful all day!

Dems don’t care
Exactly 😂
Tesla has no government contracts and President Trump ended federal incentives for electric vehicles.
SpaceX contracts with the government are BOTH the best product AND the lowest price! Moreover government revenue will be less than 10% of SpaceX revenue this quarter and less then 5% a year from now.
Happy to cancel any that the government doesn’t want. Just say the word!
Stalin after learning the Germans had captured Kiev
— Sept 1941
83 years ago today the Red Army liberated Kiev.
6 November 1943. Dawn. After 778 days of German fascist occupation, the capital of Soviet Ukraine was free again.
The Germans expected the blow at Bukrin, south of the city. Army Gen. Nikolai Vatutin, commanding the 1st Ukrainian Front, moved Pavel Rybalko's 3rd Guards Tank Army north by night into the Lyutezh bridgehead instead.
On 3 November, Kirill Moskalenko's 38th Army and Ivan Chernyakhovsky's 60th Army smashed into Hermann Hoth's 4th Panzer Army. The next day Rybalko's tanks and the 1st Guards Cavalry Corps went in, and the German line broke.
Into the city came Moskalenko's riflemen, Andrei Kravchenko's 5th Guards Tank Corps, and Ludvík Svoboda's 1st Czechoslovak Independent Brigade, which fought through the western suburbs overnight and was among the first into the centre.
That evening Moscow saluted the victors with 24 artillery salvoes from 324 guns. Stalin's Order of the Day named Moskalenko, Chernyakhovsky, Rybalko and Krasovsky among those who had distinguished themselves.
For 778 days the occupiers had held the city where, in September 1941, they murdered tens of thousands of Kiev's Jews at Babi Yar. The Red Army threw them out.
They went down fighting a lost war
