let's talk about Mitch McConnell

Mitch McConnell's leadership of the United States Senate has been a big fat waste. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ 

Team, I came to the United States Senate as an accidental senator; I never expected to gain the great honor of serving in Washington. I'll never have the seniority of lions of the Senate who've been in office for decades. What I do have is a lifetime of experience as a parent and activist, small business owner, and lieutenant governor of Minnesota. And all this experience, and basic common sense, tells me that Mitch McConnell's leadership of the United States Senate has been a big fat waste. If you want to end his tenure as majority leader as much as I do, split a donation between my campaign and the DSCC to help flip the Senate. McConnell has transformed the Senate into little more than the Trump administration's personnel office, the place where good ideas go to die -- and he's proud of it. Day in and day out, the work of the Senate has been reduced to voting to pack the courts with Trump-appointed, lifetime federal judges, as quickly as possible. And because McConnell and the Republicans have dramatically reduced the time for debate on most of these judges -- from 30 hours to two -- they can pack the courts faster than ever before. Every day, I talk to Democratic and Republican colleagues with lots of ideas about the work we should be doing. But in this environment, the already-hard work of legislating has become nearly impossible, thanks to the majority leader's steadfast commitment to packing the courts to the exclusion of almost everything else. If you agree that we need to flip the Senate so we can stop McConnell's court-packing, split a $1 donation between my campaign and the DSCC. With your help, we can make sure my seat stays in Democratic hands AND flip the Senate. Thanks, Tina Smith U.S. Senator, Minnesota
