4. Great photos! Love the little girl being held by her mother (don't know the name of the lady) and

also holding up her hand during the swearing in. Also...Is the baby that Rep. Swalwell is holding his own child? Sure looks a lot like him! (obviously going to be a handsome kid!)

[George II]

10. Yes it's Swalwell's, I think it was born just a couple of weeks ago.

[Aristus]

12. ME!

This is so wonderful...

[llmart]

26. I am!

What an historic day. As an almost 70 years old woman, you can't imagine how good this feels. I've always thought that we need more diversity in Congress and now we have it, at least on our side. What a marked difference when viewing both sides of the aisle.

OK, Dems. Time to dig right in and fix the wrongs that have been done to this country as much as we can, starting with indicting Trump.

[StarryNite]

42. I'm a woman who is almost 70 as well.

We have seen a lot in our lifetimes. And yes, it's time to dig in and fix the wrongs and there are many to fix. But we Dems are strong in numbers and intestinal fortitude, we are highly motivated and we are ticked off by what is happening to our country. Enough is enough! We are not going to take it anymore!

9. Great pics. What a contrast! My fav is the little guy in the bow tie with the gavel. LMAO!

[dixiegrrrrl]

11. "with more than 100 women elected to the congressional body. "

Looking back at the hard work we all did since 1970, I have a lump in my throat with the diverse new Congress.
took 50 years (this time around) but today I can choose one of several woman doctors, and attorneys even in my lil town.

the republican party is pretty much on the rocks in many states, part of that reason was sexism that resulted in a Me Too movement that became global, very quickly.

been an interesting ride.....

[riversedge]

13. There are some really great pics. Thanks

[Butterflylady]

14. Now those pictures

Represent who and what America is.

[Mrs. Overall]

15. The contrast is striking--white men on one side and beautiful diversity on the other side.

[Skidmore]

16. That boy

in the last picture playing with the gavel made me laugh out loud. He's oblivious to his surroundings.

[FirstLight]

22. Right?

Too cute...reminds me of my youngest 😉

[madamesilverspurs]

36. He's demonstrating

what he thinks his republican parent does in Washington.

17. K&R

[Hermit-The-Prog]

18. there's a reason Republicans look eerily alike ...

Republicans are now manufactured in the same factory -- Fox and Friends. Some options are made by Limbaugh, but all Republican voters are trained to seek only approved models.

[mahannah]

19. Nice photos, but I'll reserve judgment for verifiable action.

[obamanut2012]

25. Meaning?

[zentrum]

20. Wow--says it all.

[pdsimdars]

[Obvious85]

All those smiling, happy faces on the democrat side

[mcar]

31. You Are So beautiful to me.

You are our hope for a better future. Get it right and do not let your ego get in the way of that. You may well be our last hope.


I love this congress and the color of change.

[rurallib]

33. So sorry I can only rec this once

[Delphinus]

34. Can't help but smile

when looking at these.

And what a stark difference when looking at the Democrats versus the Republicans.

[pangaia]

35. The difference in the 2 sides of the aisle is absoutely stunning.

Dems should use this photo EVERYWHERE THEY GO.

It tells you all you need to know.

Normal, intelligent feeling, well-balanced human beings vs a bunch of psychologically disturbed, emotionally tormented, fucked up automatons !!!

[Scurrilous]

37. K&R

[Amaryllis]

38. OMG. THe difference in the two photos of Ds and Rs - R's are so pale and white and colorless! ANd

boring.

[IrishEyes]

39. The republicans mostly look the same.

Sour faced white guys in suits with white shirts and red ties.

I liked seeing all the kids.

[Guilded Lilly]

40. Pride and a gigantic K&R!

[Maraya1969]

41. I am so proud of my party!!!
