I know.

I can't believe it.

I'm usually like a little bit more dressed up when I'm like being a senator, but I was up all night last night, so I decided I would just be Tina.

Reconciliation is a way of getting around the filibuster where you have to have 60 votes to do anything.

Now, I'm all in favor of getting around the filibuster.

I think the filibuster is bad for our country.

But what they were doing last night, what Republicans were doing last night is using this arcane process to basically push through

billions and billions and billions of dollars, more money for ICE and Customs and Border Patrol, this like giant slush fund for them to continue to run the secret police.

So that's what we were fighting.

Yeah.

I mean, not much, to tell you the truth.

Here's this big, beautiful building.

It's a citadel to democracy.

And what they were really trying to do last night was make it harder for American citizens to vote.

That was one of their main things.

How can we make it harder for people who are eligible to vote to vote?

i think the system right here that you see inside this building is really broken i think it needs like whole scale uh reform and it also needs like new fresh blood new people new people to come in and say i don't care how you have done it this is how we will do it as we go forward that's what i feel yeah it makes me want to run

Really?

Yeah.
