Is this photo adorable, or what? These are Democratic House freshmen, paying a visit to the Senate side of Capitol Hill to seek out Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. (Yes, that's Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez peering out of the elevator.) Needless to say, they didn't find him. Turtle Man was AWOL.
Which means that today was a real cheer-inducer. Goodness, how on message House Democrats are about the shutdown. And why shouldn't they be? Their fearless leader, Madam Super-Speaker, kicked off the day by taking away Donald Trump's TV privileges for January 29.
The freshmen dropped off "end the shutdown" letters to McConnell in his Majority Leader's office, his Senate office, at the cloakroom and on the Senate floor. No Mitch anywhere. But they promise to keep looking.
We love this, because with all the news swirling around alleged Russian asset Benedict Donald, all thinking people know that a major co-conspirator is McConnell, who refused to issue a bipartisan warning about Russian interference in 2016. These exploits by AOC and her House colleagues can only help the American people better understand how perniciously the Republicans are working against them.
P.S. Was McConnell absent because he was curled up in the fetal position somewhere over the renaming of Louisville's airport? Fans of Muhammad Ali want to know. We cats PURR.
