Duckworth, one of 22 women in the Senate, has the experience to give her policy advice and criticisms of President Donald Trump an especially authoritative edge. His demand for a military parade? "Our troops in danger overseas don't need a show of bravado, they need steady leadership," she said...Breaking down barriers is nothing new for Sen. Tammy Duckworth, and that's the way she likes it...she'll be the first senator to give birth while in office...And so, along with her legislative and political goals, the Illinois Democrat is adding a new one: educating the tradition-bound Senate on creating a workplace that makes room for new moms...She points to flaws in Chicago's mass transit system, for example, and in a ladies' room at a U.S. embassy overseas...She's the first female amputee elected to Congress, the first Asian-American to represent Illinois in Washington and the first member of Congress born in Thailand...not exactly known for being on the leading edge of equality. The first area specifically set up for lactation opened in the Capitol only a dozen years ago. The House installed its first lavatory for women lawmakers in 2011. The Senate has had its own women's restroom for 25 years.

Well, you can't educate "the Senate", because the Senate is not a person.
You could educate Senators, but I'm quite sure once a man is that far up the greasy pole he has a VERY good idea of what women are all about.
Typical liberal. Assumes that no one but her understands the deep truths, and takes it upon herself to educate everyone else. The arrogance is overwhelming.
I’m pretty certain that most husbands and fathers are quite aware of the challenges their wives face. It isn’t like the wives will stay mum on the subject. We don’t need some self-proclaimed “enlightened” liberal to “teach” men about this.
educating the tradition-bound Senate on creating a workplace that makes room for new moms...
Proving that she should never be taken seriously about anything since her first instinct is yo Abandon Her Baby instead of actually being a Mother.
Just what I was thinking: “Let’s Have A Conversation About Obstetrics & Gynecology” always means a lecture is coming.
So if i chop a leg off, I would get to check a box? Because right now I don’t get to check any box. Except White. Male. >50.
Why isn’t this pro-abortion hag aborting her fetus? Maybe she’ll do it on the senate floor.
Wow, so AP and MSN are into providing press releases for Democrat Senators, who knew?
I don’t think they write such sweet PRs for conservatives, though maybe ofc for the occasional RINO.
The only reason I care about those things, is how annoying it is to realize this person has no self worth without them.
None of those things mean “jack s___” when it comes to getting things done.
<<<Her father’s family goes all the way back to the American Revolution. She could be a member of the DAR because of that. She was born in Thailand because her dad worked there. Although her mother was a Thai citizen<<<
So, unless she was Born on an American Government Installation (like they said McCain was, but he wasn’t) she is ineligible to become POTUS. Good.
This ‘up coming birth’ is nothing but a planned, staged act for attention...she already gave birth four years ago the same way...
She craves ATTENTION...poor child will be the one who suffers..
a newborn at age 50...just smh
Let’s repeal the 19th Amendment instead.
Duckworth rides her wounds to self aggrandizement says this retired Army Officer. Now she is in a high risk pregnancy because of her age and she want’s everyone in the world to know what a burden she carries and how not another person ever carried such weight.
“I guess the old turkey baster method was employed with sperm from some male queer!”
If the father is listed as Meleagris then we’ll know it was the baster method.
Military people who promote abortion have always scared me.
She was actively recruited by Dick Durbin and Rahm Emanuel who saw her as the perfect made to order Democratic candidate who could be promoted as above all criticism despite her leftist views due her personal narrative. It took nearly seven years before Duckworth managed to be elected to Congress (in a newly gerrymandered district designed for her). Her first campaign resulted in a loss (to Peter Roskam). Duckworth has been criticized as a carpetbagger inasmuch as she has had to change her residence in order to run in various Congressional Districts. Now, she is a statewide elected official in the US Senate.
When it comes down to politics, governance and her legislative voting record there is plenty to object to.
I have long said that any military person who is a democrat has some sort of self hate complex. Clearly she does.
