one thing I love about House hearings

I love watching powerful intelligent woman telling arrogant men who are interrupting and stonewalling them things like "this is my time and I control it" or interrupting the stonewalling to say "I asked you a simple question, yes or no" and when they still won't respond saying they are going to take that as whatever response puts the stonewaller in a bad light. I love their righteous "I was elected to this position of power by the American people and I outrank you" attitude! And when they are women of color it's even more delicious to watch. What tremendous role models they are. I am so damn proud of the Democratic women in Congress I could burst.

of Jordon and Gohmert will be forced to follow rules of be led out and not able to return. The constant interruptions and whining during other people's time is out of order and should be punished. Not to mention not wearing a mask of jacket.

and I applaud them for showing their amazing intelligence and know how to the world. Women didn’t just become intelligent. We’ve been this way always.

This is why men have always oppressed women. The saying that it’s a man’s world is being crushed out of existence, as it should be.

(Low) Barr was trying to run out the clock by spouting bullshit. He's done that before.

The more role models of successful and powerful women, the better. And it all gets put into the Congressional record.
