Tonight, alone Garcia has been all over the news with the Oversight Committee meeting tomorrow which he co-chairs. Ayanna Pressley is on that committee, and she is a rape survivor. You never see these two mentioned as fighters. This is huge. I just saw that three R's have demanded that the full Epstein files should be released. Are you sitting down...it's MTG, Bobo and Luna.

Good to know others on Reddit chimed in and added the names that are somehow always ignored. This is the OP's point about people never acknowledging that there are so many more Dems out their fighting for this party and our country.
