Good News Elections:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 In 2018, the first Muslim women were elected to Congress, Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.); as were the first Native American women, Reps. Sharice Davids (D-Kan.) and Deb Haaland (D-N.M.); and the youngest congresswoman ever, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.). All won reelection on Tuesday. As of Tuesday, Mondaire Jones will be the nation\u2019s first openly gay Black congressman. Ritchie Torres will be the first openly gay Black and Latino congressman, and Cori Bush will be Missouri\u2019s first Black congresswoman. And a record number of Native candidates are headed to Congress. Thank you, Huffpost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current president\u2019s temper tantrums are: embarrassing, curious, pathetic, scary (I prefer this to the grownup word, frightening.) I am practicing former Vice President Biden\u2019s dictum: Be patient. Nerve wracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
