âProfiles in Courageâ will need to add two new names to the JFK list: U.S. Representative Madeleine Dean, District 4, and her son Harry Cunnane, who just published a memoir, âUnder Our Roof: A Sonâs Battle for Recovery, a Motherâs Battle for Her Son.â
You have all seen Congresswoman Dean on television many times, in her capacity as a member of the Impeachment Trial manager team; as a member of the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives. And as a brave outspoken female member of Congress and vice chair of the Bipartisan Womenâs Caucus. Andrea Mitchell and other hosts on MSNBC and CNN love to feature her on their programs.
Pennsylvania Rep. Madeleine Dean’s recent stint in the national spotlight as one of nine House impeachment managers has fueled more speculation that she could one day return to the Senate

The usually uneventful counting of Electoral College votes devolved into a bloody and chaotic scene on Capitol Hill on Wednesday afternoon as pro-Trump protesters broke into the hallways and chambers of Congress.
Capitol Police officers evacuated lawmakers, reporters, and congressional staffers as the violent protesters disrupted the vote tally. Vice President Mike Pence was swiftly whisked away.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois told CBS that a quick-thinking Senate aide grabbed the Electoral College vote certificates before they fled.
Hill staffers, lawmakers, and reporters recounted the scary experience of the evacuation and the close brush with danger that the rest of the US and the world followed via C-SPAN and social media.
