I don't know if Kyrsten Sinema is running in 2024, but she's definitely hedging her bets.

Received this in the mail last week -




It's easy to tell that she's a lawyer by training - she throws around "weasel"* words like they're going out of style.

* = words with ambiguous or subjective meanings.

She "led" H.R. 3684 (Infrastructure bill),  What does that even mean?

She claims to have "Wrote and passed" S. 2938 (Bipartisan Safer Communities Act).  I don't know if she had a hand in writing the measure, but it was sponsored by Marco Rubio and cosponsored only by Rick Scott, both of whom are Rs from Florida.  Oh, and members of Congress don't "pass" anything. 

She also claims to have written and passed S. 2541, the Shadow Wolves Enforcement Act.  At least she sponsored this one.  Of course, it's actually called the Shadow Wolves "Enhancement" Act, and it seems to be reasonable to believe that the alleged writer of the measure know that.

She "led" efforts for H.R. 4346 (CHIPS Act, part of another bill).  Again, what does "led" even mean?

Also, she took credit for the passage of S. 3373 (the PACT Act).  "Ensured" seems to be her way of saying "Well, I didn't sponsor or cosponsor the bill, but I voted for it, so I'm going to take credit for it."

Lastly, she took credit for the drought funding and drug price negotiation by Medicare included in the f H.R. 5376, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.  She voted for it.
