@JonMIPol TX21? Thoughts?

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

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? https://t.co/kiK4XxFNHg

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.

Confused by these motions to recommit that are putting moderate Dems into tight spots? This is the piece you've been waiting for from @ProfJRoberts!

[Jason Roberts @ProfJRoberts]

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

[Lauren Underwood @LaurenUnderwood]

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.

This is a *very* good point. #moneyinpolitics

"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." https://t.co/JbOHJ1obSG @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: https://t.co/pz0Wac0Wxs

Lamenting hyperpartisanship? The new #PublicLandsPackage is the antidote you were looking for. Note that the entire Utah delegation voted for this bill including freshman @RepBenMcAdams. Look for our interview with him #ComingSoon #bipartisanship https://t.co/06nW6JOft8

[Raul M. Grijalva @RepRaulGrijalva]

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

This is what grrreets you at @DonYoungAK ‘s office. Apparently he shot it down himself.

Check out this thoughtful @WAVY_News story about the challenges faced by Norfolk’s first African-American police officers. We can learn so much from their bravery. #BlackHistoryMonth https://t.co/CKXFeCkztO

[Ted Deutch @RepTedDeutch]

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.

[Sheryl Gay Stolberg @SherylNYT]

I was shocked when I saw this for the first time too. It’s good to see Washington through the eyes of a newcomer.

Aly and I welcomed our son, Jordan, to the world last night in Dallas. We are so thankful to have a healthy, beautiful son. Our hearts couldn’t be more full.
