We were watching this live last night and this moment was so frustrating to watch but she just kicked it right out of the park! AND THE BEST NEWS EVER…they won! It took them several hours and a ton of fighting but they ruled that the vote started after midnight and was invalid! So awesome!
A huge thank you to Wendy and Leticia and Judith for standing up for women last night! You are such an inspiration to future girls interested in politics. Also major props to all the senators who fought hard and with passion to have your voices heard. Democracy is pretty cool.

I watched the filibuster in Texas tonight like some people watch sports games. Yelling, cheering, trash talking and staying up far too late. I executed at least one decent germane/Jermaine Jackson joke and about 11 really horrible ones.

It wasn't exactly the outcome I was hoping for, but I'm proud to see democracy in action. Hopefully I will be able to see repercussions for those who seemed to bend and twist the law to their own liking, but even if we don't see those repercussions immediately, I have faith in the internet to never forget jerkiness.
