From @dsallentess: How many of the 182 House members will keep their names on the record as supporting the remarkable diminishing of congressional power brought about by the president’s declaration? wapo.st/2TYvfiT

If you think my job is to support the president one hundred percent, then you don’t understand what it means to be a representative in Congress. My job is to support the Constitution one hundred percent and to represent all the people of my district by protecting their rights.

One of the best features of this unsettled time in our politics, is that certain reforms which have been considered impossible, like public finance for elections, once again look like really good ideas that might be worth revisiting. #moneyinpolitics #campaignfinance

Today is the final day of #BlackHistoryMonth, but the fight for equality continues every day because of legends like John Lewis. It was a privilege to sit down with him and learn from his experiences. xitter.gq/nowthisnews/status/109…

"One advantage Ocasio-Cortez has over some colleagues is that she consistently attends even the most mundane committee hearings, since she does not spend any of her day calling donors for money." huffpost.com/entry/alexandri… @danielmarans @PaulBlu @AOC

NEW from me: my profile of @Hickenlooper, the field geologist who opened Colorado's first brewery pub in the late 1980s, became an unlikely politician & a two-term Democratic governor, and is rumored to be announcing a 2020 presidential bid soon: businessinsider.com/john-hic…

Meet John Hickenlooper, the brewery owner turned governor and a Democratic presidential candidate...

Hickenlooper overcame tough odds to start a small business, become mayor of Denver, and get elected to two terms as governor in a purple state.

For years, I've worked tirelessly to permanently reauthorize #LWCF, and that victory was achieved with yesterday's #PublicLands Package. Thanks to all of the staff and Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle who helped make this victory a reality.
What do you see in these two photos of @RepLucyMcBath? Perhaps hope, juxtaposed with realism, or maybe with grief that's become a source of strength. #GA06

The @AOC effect: New York is shaping up to be the epicenter of House primaries in 2020 w/ a half-dozen ALREADY in the works. • Nadler • Engel • Rice • Suozzi • Serrano • Clarke • Maloney Lots of news and names in this piece that I will thread: nytimes.com/2019/02/14/nyreg…

The Ocasio-Cortez Effect: Wave of Challenges Hits Entrenched N.Y. Democrats (Published 2019)

As many as six House challenges are in the works, in a possible echo of the divisions roiling the 2020 presidential primary. Insurgents are inspired by Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

This afternoon I will lead the House of Representatives in a moment of silence in remembrance of the lives lost one year ago on 2/14/2018 at Marjory Stoneman Douglas in Parkland FL. Please read about their lives and pray for their loved ones and the Parkland community this week.
