Rep. Underwood is working for Illinois

And I'm saddled with a room temperature IQ, lazy, fucking Trumplodyte as a rep.

Anyway - Congrats to Rep. Lauren Underwood (D) of Illinois' 14th District.

She does her job in a quiet, effective manner. No social media, no photo ops, no histrionics, no games - just working with her fellow Democrats to do her job.

She's a squad of one!

None have been truly awful - but the ones who get national exposure were picked for reasons other than performance.

The squad got the huge national fame boost when the Trump Party and Fox News Corpse decided they were the new "face of the enemy".

I also place great importance in a representative's ability DO THEIR JOB effectively. I've always felt that accomplishments benefit people more than mere talk and "woulda-shoulda-coulda" lists of grievances and regrets. Action over tweets. Work over games.

Lauren Underwood is so impressive!

She's a squad of one!

That's a great phrase! She's certainly accomplished a lot!
