I do not give a shit about the Real Housewives of The White House drama. Do not let this distract you from the fact that the BBB needs to be shut down in the Senate. #meangirls #shedoesntevengohere #toasterstrudel #nokings

Crying in my car while singing along to Defying Gravity is not the energy I thought I would bring to the revolution.💙😭#itoywimim #teamelphaba
