Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Sen Al Franken (D-Minn.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) all joined it.

He's always so dignified and doesn't ever seem to want to ham it up.

I hope he has some idea of how many people love him.

human like I've never seen, especially in politics. Beaucoup courage, passionate, considerate and extremely intelligent, sharp and wise Bernie possesses a rare combination of many positive qualities. And I too hope realizes the love for him and our gratitude for the efforts he's made to help us, and this 'great country' as he says, for decades. These days so many of his contemporaries really pale..

It's a House action, and senators who drop in to lend moral support do so at their own discretion.

Apparently the required amount of time is any amount longer than Bernie who simply "walked in and walked out" for a photo op doncha know.

Didn't even make a statement either!!!11! (He did but there's no stopping the false meme runaway train when it starts going)

For anyone who wants to interact with those who post untruths, I suppose the only recourse is to keep posting the truth.

It's okay, riderinthestorm. People like that can't hurt Bernie, and they can't hurt us.

I was just praising Bernie for opening the political environment enough to allow regular congresspersons to feel comfortable with raising a little hell on the nations behalf ....

Suddenly, I was being mean to John Lewis (Whom I love and admire greatly) ...

The bullshit continues ....

I love you guys ....
