Really enjoyed this! Porter is smart, honest, and no nonsense and I appreciated her approach to exposing the truth of politics and her style of educating the public in a way that’s approachable and entertaining

“Who could run their lives this way? 
I had a sinking feeling as I indignantly posed that question to myself. I was new to Congress, but I had more than a decade of experience as a working parent. I knew the answer.
Men could. A man could live, perhaps thrive, in a system that requires walking out of the house on little notice, knowing someone else will remain behind, so he could tend to the ever-evolving responsibilities of his job.”
