The only thing Mitch McConnell cares about:

Joe Kennedy for Massachusetts     Mitch McConnell is leading a broken Senate. Every day he's in charge, he makes the damage worse. The Senate has become a place where good ideas go to die. Gun safety, election security, campaign finance reform, protections for LGBTQIA+ rights, the Vi…

This country has been at war for half my life.
