Here's her first-ever hearing, and her challenge: When was the last time you took a Wall Street bank to trial?

Here's another hearing, where she grilled Sallie Mae officials why they are ripping off taxpayers.

Remember how she schooled the smug, arrogant CNBC hosts about Glass-Steagall? Priceless.

Here she is, blasting the Republicans for the government shutdown over Obamacare:

With millions of people still out of work, with an economic recovery that is still far too fragile, with students and families being crushed by student loan debt, with millions of seniors denied their chance at one hot meal a day with Meals on Wheels and millions of little children pushed out of Head start because of a sequester, with the country hours away from a government shutdown and days away from a potential default on the nation’s debt, the Republicans have decided that the single most important issue facing our nation is to change the law so that employers can deny women access birth control coverage.

Finally, here she is arguing for expanding Social Security: "This is partly about math, but it's partly about our values. This is about what kind of a people we are, what kind of a country we are trying to build."

When we talk about "more and better Democrats" here, this is precisely what we mean. Bring on 2014!
