  • Rep. Katie Porter tells Stephen that she doesn’t take money from lobbyists, she thinks Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is guilty of hypocrisy, and she finds it hard to go to work every day with Marjorie Taylor Greene as a colleague. Rep. Porter’s new memoir, “I Swear: Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan,” is out now.

      Since when, we need house reps that will work with each other rather than criticize others. If she disagrees with republicans then work with them to get a better result. Same goes for republicans. We elect these people to work together not to just go on talk shows and criticize each other. That is what most of these unqualified democrat and republicans are doing instead of working for the people. Porter is not original her rhetoric is the same words as every other democrat. It is like they rehearse it. Let's elect people that can think for themselves.

It's pretty interesting to track which years see increasing or decreasing spending, an tie-in to what was being debated or proposed at the time. Over-regulation can be almost as bad as under-regulation though, but it tends to be in states like Cali and is often more about bureaucracy than actually needed ones.

Progressives are why 4o hour weeks are considered full time instead of 60+ hours. Progressives are why there's such a thing as "minimum wage". Progressives are completely responsible for people having health insurance plans available by their employer. Progressives are why each of our bank accounts are insured for $250k each. They're responsible for children having free education in K-12, and why student loans even exist. Get injured on your job and need workers comp until you're healed? Thank progressives! People who retired from companies with a monthly pension but the company goes out of business -- it's progressives who created the govt program that makes it possible for you to continue receiving that pension.

    Regulations set minimum standards below which you should not go. You are always free to go above them and improve your standards. Therefore, anyone who campaigns to get rid of regulations must by definition be wanting to go below the set standards and be free to do so.

    With all her charisma, intellect and honesty, the yellow dress is the icing on the cake. Lovely. What a gem to have in government!
