Give 'em the Glad Hand!
“Cry havoc and let slip the DOGE of war!”
Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

Thanks all. Done for today, have a slew of meetings lined up for tomorrow. Energy and Commerce committee had to cancel but we’ll Hoover up more members for our bill we hope.

I've never heard an American use that expression.
"Now look here, you Baltic gas passer... " - Mik, 6/14/08
The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Walked by Bowman’s office. I wanted to take a picture of the front of his office but it would have been awkward.
He had a big sign with names and faces of the hostages saying bring them home. He had a small poster saying keep the children of Gaza safe. It was smaller that the hostage photo but placed above it.
Also his name plate reads “Bowman, Jamal Ed D.”

Maybe one that has spent 2-3 years in London?

Regardless, any reference to sucking power is probably an unfortunate choice to describe lobbying.

At least he didn't say suck more members.
Edit - damn, Mik beat me to it
I was only joking

Not quite as well, though. I was trying to be subtle.

That is just as problematic as the Squad entries. American Flag, State Flag, nameplate. That’s it.

The majority of them have just that. And if there’s a sign it’s either ‘welcome we’re open’ or something rah-rah about their state like a state Uni banner.

@jon-nyc Cool stuff you are doing!!

No it isn’t realistic to get leadership as a cosponsor for a tiny bill like this.
We met with Vern Johnson, who I believe is the ranking GOP member on Ways and Means. That’s probably a stretch. He probably considers himself umpire not player on things like this and would be unlikely to sponsor us. But it is worth a try. It would be a coup to get him.
They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

Education is extremely important.
