Kind is a disappointing finale for #themorningshow. You write out Laura in the midst of Bradley's family crisis (she said set boundaries, not cut off family), and raise up Cory who outed her as a good guy savior? Way to end with hetero-normative instead of being forward.
I am here to help consult for any showrunner who wants to write a real story about lesbians/bi women in their 40s and 50s with high EQ's and the struggles of our generation coming to terms with our sexuality. It would have a huge audience.
I mean for 2 of the last 3 women I dated (in their 40s and 50s) I was their first woman, and the third was bi. Including one pretty famous woman (I never kiss and tell). These stories need to be told. There would be a huge audience living this experience.

I believe our party is pretty united - and last night wasn't a far-left or moderate thing. But we need leadership who can get it done. BBB and Infrastructure should have been negotiated and passed before August recess. We should have been focused on voting rights in the fall.

There also needs to be accountability & consequences. Can't tell you the amount of times I hear from our voters how we worked to take back our government, but nothing is happening. People do not feel safe. Biden needs to fix this - maybe change AG. We need public hearings.

There needs to be a sense of urgency from our elected Democrats. There is way too much complacency, which led to voter apathy. Why do you need so many long recesses? Stay in DC and pass things so the voters who worked to get you there feel seen and their issues addressed.

House Oversight Committee releasing financial docs this morning provided by the GSA which show despite Trump crowing about all the money he was making, Trump Hotel DC lost more than $70 million while he was in office.
Documents also show Trump received an estimated $3.7 million from foreign governments and received preferential treatment from Deutsche Bank when the bank allowed Trump to defer payments for six years.
Trump also had to inject Trump Hotel DC with more than $24 million in cash from Trump Org to offset losses.
Hillary is warning us again!

Nothing is more important right now than protecting voting rights. Our democracy is quite literally hanging in the balance. Congress must focus too on passing Klobuchar's voting rights bill.
I worry that there is a sense of learned helplessness among Democrats. I am trying to rally people for 2022, but there is a sense of exhaustion and we worked take back the gov't, but there is no accountability or progress. Democrats need to get bills passed, and AG needs to act!
The Editorial Board of the Boston Globe calls for Trump to be prosecuted. Hear hear! If there isn't accountability, those 4 years will be a dry run. apps.bostonglobe.com/opinion/graphi…
"Saving American democracy for the long run requires a clear condemnation of the Trump presidency. That means making clear that no one is above the law."
This x 1000!
