The death toll after yesterday’s deadly terrorist attack at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul is still climbing:

BREAKING: death toll from Kabul airport attack jumped to 170 people including 32 men, 3 woman & 3 children. Identity or 132 others still unidentifiable. Nearly 200 people also wounded.

But Democratic Rep. Cori Bush doesn’t want you to forget that she, too, has sacrificed.

After the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 (instead of 9-0, which is what it should have been) in favor of blocking Joe Biden’s unlawful eviction moratorium, Bush took the opportunity to remind everyone about what she and her fellow Democratic warriors had been through:

We were outside the Capitol for 5 days. Rain. Heat. Cold.

If they think this partisan ruling is going to stop us from fighting to keep people housed, they’re wrong.

Congress needs to act immediately. For every unhoused or soon to be unhoused person in our districts. https://t.co/Boi3rUaZ4Y

So proud was she for the price she’d already paid and would gladly pay again, that she made it her pinned tweet:

Let’s all pause for a moment of silence for Rep. Bush and her colleagues, who — let’s face it — could have caught colds and maybe even pneumonia or something but at the very least were wet and kind of uncomfortable.

Wow all the way outside and everything. pic.twitter.com/2mj2mJwVZN

Does her stunning bravery know no bounds?

Could have gone inside the Capitol building and passed a law instead of relying on the president to issue an unlawful executive order.
