The house has a 72 hour rule which requires the bill to be posted 72 hours before passage.
BUT the Speaker circumvented this rule with a “managers amendment” that re-wrote and added substantial portions of the bill as it went through the rules committee the night the bill was passed.
There’s another House rule which requires a day to pass before voting on a bill after the rules committee has modified it.
Would you believe the House voted to suspend that so-called “same day rule”?! 😳
This means the final language of the bill was released only a few minutes before debate began. The vote on the rule change and the vote on the bill followed within a couple of hours.
Elon is right, members of congress didn’t even know what was in this bill until the night it passed. A few other members have also made this clear.
Edwin Díaz's injury is unfortunate for him & the #Mets, but to say the WBC doesn't matter is to ignore all the energy fans/players from all over the world put into the tournament. There's a lot of people who care a great deal, & it's not like spring training is some injury haven.
BREAKING: The Senate just passed bipartisan legislation protecting same-sex marriages, an huge sign of shifting national politics on the issue & relief for hundreds of thousands of same-sex couples who married since the Supreme Court legalized gay marriage.https://t.co/C9ReykHOBG
This is shameful.
Where the hell are all those that make pro-LGBTQ posts during Pride Month?
If you live in Florida, or have headquarters there, DO NOT call yourself an “ally”, unless you call your legislators and Governor and express opposition to this hateful abomination.
