In a situation like this, if one is an F and one is a C-/D+, I’m going with the C-/D+. Plus Build Back Better was a seriously good bill that would never in a million years have been passed by the Republicans.

Oh my God listen to this.
Angeli Gomez, the mother of two Robb Elementary School students, was handcuffed by Marshals after urging officers to enter the school during the shooting.
