Another brief video diary. This is how Congress works now.

Notice how the Speaker pro-tem denies the points of order and inquiry by redefining the terms? Notice the uproar when he does so. Notice that  the “nays” are clearly louder than the “ayes,” but the Speaker pro tem declares the “ayes” have it. The vote here is the defunding of National Public Radio.

This is the atmosphere Peter Welch is working in. Thugs are running the place. We need to help other states elect Democrats. This is why it matters.
