Some (belated) job news: Last week I started at @tax @BGOV, where I work as an editor focused on defense, tech, energy and agriculture policy on the Hill. Sad to leave @thehill, my home of 8+ years, but thrilled to be joining such a dynamic news org at such a momentous time.

New: GOP Reps. ROY and PERRY are circulating a dear colleague letter opposing the E15 bill up for a vote this week

“The legislation we will be voting on acts as a backdoor expansion of the ethanol mandate, squeezes out independent refineries, and further entrenches a program crafted by radical Democrats,” they write

New: Iran war cost has ticked up to about $29 billion according to the Pentagon's acting comptroller. That number does not include any damage to US bases in the Middle East, he said. Still up in the air when the supplemental will be sent to Hill.

[Rep. Lauren Boebert @RepBoebert]

I filed multiple non controversial amendments to the Farm Bill to help rural Coloradans.

@RepJoeNeguse asked the Rules Committee to consider them on the House floor.

The Republicans on the committee unanimously voted against them and they will not even be considered for a floor vote.

Farmers and ranchers in my district are counting on me to be their voice in DC and our “leadership” is not letting me do my job. I am a NO on the Rule.
