We so need to put this guy in charge of Democrats. "Waiting till the midterms" is just not going to work.

If the House sends the Energy Dept Appropriations bill to the Senate this week, I will file an amendment to stop the Administration's insane plan to take Venezuela's oil at gunpoint into order to nation build. It would be a massive mistake that only the oil companies would love.

Unfortunately we are condemned to a leader who is still living in the my honorable friend across the aisle era of politics. AOC will take care of that eventually when she sends him into retirement.
