Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and some of her colleagues are tired of Senator Mitch McConnell shirking his duty and causing a lot of people a lot of pain by making them work with no paychecks.
They went on a hunt for him.
A "Where's Mitch" hunt.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and several other freshman Democrats strolled into Sen. Mitch McConnell’s (R-Ky) office with a letter urging the Senate Majority Leader to end the shutdown.
The letter — signed by over 30 House freshman — encourages McConnell to “reopen the government,” suggesting he bring a House package to fund federal agencies “to a vote.” But, when they got to the Senator’s office, he was nowhere to be seen, prompting Ocasio-Cortez to say “where’s Mitch is my question,” according to Lexington Herald-Leader correspondent Lesley Clark.
“We wanted to make sure he gets the letter,” Rep. Susie Lee (D-Nev.), one of the Democrats, said. “We just wanted to see if we could get it to as many places as he would receive it.”
Later, Rep. Lauren Underwood (D-Ill) confirmed on Twitter that the letter was eventually dropped off with “Sen. McConnell’s capitol office, Republican Cloakroom, on Senate Floor and his personal office.”
"Everywhere we went, we left the same message: #EndTheShutdown and re-open the government,” Underwood added.
