When people ask me why I'm a Democrat, I always say that it's because the Democratic Party is the party of helping people. Rep. Jamie Raskin continues to prove me right, because when Republican Rep. George Santos sent out his "Dear Colleague" letter to "express his gratitude" to his fellow representatives for failing to muster the votes to expel him from the House, Raskin rose to the occasion.
Knowing that Santos' office had just suffered a terrible setback when his only available proofreader had to flee the building after (by Santos' telling) a rampaging bear burst out of the heating ducts, interrupting an in-office volleyball game that Santos was definitely winning, Raskin stepped in to give Santos' letter the editing the fabulist congressman’s remaining staff was unable to provide.
