Um, is it maybe part of the reason why we have stopped, um, elevating campaign finance reform, meaning getting private money out of politics, um, in our issue, uh, priority because, you know, we now more than ever rely on some of those really, really rich people to fund our campaigns and super PAC shirt.

I didn't. So we passed the Senate years ago. Right. So any of us have the opportunity to block it. I did not. I did not block it because I think on balance, it's probably the right thing for the country. But there is this argument about, you know, kids having to. sit out in the freezing cold super early in the morning, which is also not awesome.

I know everybody's like, oh, I've been to Connecticut. I've driven through your state, right from Boston to New York. No, stop. Take a stop in New Haven. Go to Sally's or Modern or Pete's.
