My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

I want to sincerely thank every single one of my Senate Democratic colleagues who came to the floor, not to just support me, but to share incredibly powerful stories and ask important questions their constituents want answers to.
