Morning Roundup: Hypocrisy and Suspect 180s
February 13: Featuring Jen Rubin, Mimi Rocah, Jennifer Rodgers and more...

I posted a series of letters. I've written her several times. I reminded her about the prooblem with Treasury, and about the Ukraine vs Putin problem. She is a member of the Foreign Affairs committee.
I also reminded her that there are about a million humanitarian visas and most of the sponsors are in Miami, many in her district..
We have two others. Gimenez was our Democratic mayor until 2020 when he flipped for Trump. Diaz Barlart's brother, Jose, is a MSNBC talking head.
