Thank you @ktumulty for supporting the effort to get @cspan carried on @YouTubeTV and @hulu + Live TV. It’s long past time for these major video distributors to allow their customers access to their elected representatives. #publicservice #civicduty
If you believe in transparent government, you need C-SPAN on @YouTubeTV and @hulu + Live TV📺 Read @ktumulty’s new @washingtonpost column — then tell YouTube TV and Hulu you want unfiltered access to democracy! https://t.co/glndQ0Uq9z
