Independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema listened to President Joe Biden's State of the Union speech while sitting among her Republican colleagues and moderate Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin.

Sinema, I-Ariz., sat next to Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, in a section that also included Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sens. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska; Todd Young, R-Ind.; and Steve Daines, R-Mont.

During the primetime televised address to Congress, Biden referred to several legislative achievements throughout his speech that prominently involved Sinema, as well as Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.

For example, Biden mentioned what he called the “once-in-a-generation” infrastructure law that Sinema helped broker with former Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio.

I generally don't notice what people wear, seriously. But it seems like she makes a POINT out of either being inappropriate or ridiculous.

It doesn't matter what she's wearing.
Leave the "what are women wearing" nonsense to the far right idiots.
Leave the sexism there too.
Democrats are never going to demonstrate they are different by acting and talking like sexist fools.
Leave the women's attire comments to the Republicans, they are better at it anyway!

and so that makes it fair game. We talk about Gym Jordan and his lack of respect for Congress and goes without a jacket of any kind.

water wars, especially in AZ, and to even propose legislation in Congress declaring that water is a right. It's the right thing to do and it may sway Independents away from the Rs, Sinema to Gallego.
