Plus, we're working on our protest signs and fundraising with friends.READING LISTDahlia Lithwick on the “fan fic” that Kennedy was a moderateIf all goes well in November, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the youngest woman ever elected to Congress.Flippable / Indivisible / Sister District / Run for Something / Swing Left
