I couldn't get into the town hall hosed by @SenatorJeffMerkley last night. The reason I couldn't get in is because the event was packed beyond capacity.

The pics and video are all the people that couldn't get in.

#Note to #senatorjeffmerkley - You need to pick larger venues 🙂

So proud of our Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) who has been speaking on the Senate floor for nearly 20 hours, warning that “tyranny has arrived” in America as the government shutdown stretches into its fourth week.
Thank you, Senator Merkley!

#SenatorJeffMerkley asked the question fairly on the Senate floor and it has not been answered. If #realdonaldtrump were known to be a Russian agent, WHAT WOULD HE BE DOING DIFFERENT? Why aren't news talk hosts asking this question every hour?
