It's weird seeing BW be giddy over Those Two WW asking Booker about Ay Pack money...especially when there are 3 elected officials right there in OK who have accepted 2-3 times more than 80k.

The really big thing that takes us out of here and I know it may sound cliché, but it really is hugely significant is STRESS. We should start thinking about stress as a physical condition because that is exactly what it is.

Spread this around. Missouri and Ohio Democrats need at least 100,000 valid signatures to take on Republican gerrymandering maps. This is the fight 🔥

MO & OH Dems need us to help Rally support!

A commissioned poll shows nearly 1/2 of MO voters oppose the maps
