    I don't know if most people know who she is but she regularly embarrasses these corporatists by detailing their behavior. A must follow on the twitter.

    I don't care if you can fly, there is no justification to pay 5 suits $124M. No wonder the drugs we buy are so much more expensive than similar drugs sold elsewhere in the world.

    Add this to a number of things to be changed.

    Get the tar and feather ready

    I don’t care how much someone get paid but that drug price hike... no.

    I heard the solution to this is a tax cut for them. Make it permanent also.

    Imagine having her as your law professor. You better do that required reading every single class.

    What's ironic is that her district is one of the most manicured boogie districts in the country.

    If Republicans weren't xenophobic, slash n burn, dog whistling (not racist tho!!!), pro-country club WASP traditionalists (again not racist for "having an opinion"!!), then her seat might actually be Republican

    Stuff like this needs to be reported more and used by Biden in adds talking about changing this.

    That R&D clapback was tremendous.

    katie is a single mom from the suburb in the heart of Orange County, CA, where Disneyland is, the original home of the Reagan Democrats. Since then, but before 2018, the locals have voted for Rep most of the time.

    She was a law student of Elizabeth Warren; before entering the political arena, she was a law professor at UC Irvine. she was part of the Democratic blue wave in 2018, in which all 8 Congressional districts in Orange County voted to send a Dem lawmaker to DC. She currently represents my district

    here is another thread on her, https://bbs.clutchfans.net/index.ph...in-an-epic-privacy-burn.296786/#post-13044417

    fwiw,

    She's very effective and her use of the white board is genius. Just a plain spoken breakdown of out of control capitalism and how it affects the average person. I hope Biden puts her in the cabinet somewhere, labor, commerce, or treasury even.

    Katie is at it again. Maybe put her over at Treasury, watch her claw her way through corruption.

    What a great representative. She is doing the people's work. We would all be better served with representatives even close to her.

    She should be a presidential candidate by 2028. AOC for 2036. They'll be seasoned enough where "they lack experience" arguments won't work anymore.

    My favorite rep. Unfortunately she is from one of the most endangered species.

    Totally unrelated side question: why can’t I wear lace tank tops to work video meetings?

    This is a question I often ask myself. Why don't women have to wear sleeves at work. Like if I showed up with a sleeveless button up shirt they would send my ass home but some chick does it and it's business as usual. Like WTF? Same thing with the footwear. I can't wear chancletas to work. WTF?
