Thank you Gabe, as always you teach me so much about government. When I finished this article I thought, "I'm subscribing to this for life." Best subscription I have.
Mainstream news channels never report on the more ordinary legislation making is way through Congress thus leaving most of us thinking they never do anything at all. Thanks for reporting on this so those of us that read your reporting are aware of these important bills.
Good question — it notched the necessary signatures to force a vote on 9/19, but discharge petitions take seven legislative days to ripen (that’s days the House is actually in session). That means a vote will be forced when the House returns in November.
Thank you, Gabe, for the inspirational news. And all the other details from Congress. Glad to know that some work is being done. Now I’ll go back and follow some of the links you provided for the latest news.
This made me tear up, Gabe,in that you've shown the Real Heroes that do the heavy lifting, not for themselves, but for the Betterment of the American people. Beautiful article this morning,Good Job 💙
"On the Hill, the higher-profile activists tend to be the ones who throng to sweeping proposals, plans that are as expansive as they are unlikely to be passed. But the more successful activists tend to be more like Goodman, who spends months — even years — studying an issue from all sides, consulting scientists and bureaucrats, and zeroing in on what she calls “one-change solutions.”
Wow. What an amazing woman! And very good to know about such an important issue.
I regularly attend meetings hosted by a group that sets up presentations where local charities talk about serious issues that are close to home. Many, involve children. It's often shocking. But, As the saying goes "Knowledge is power." Knowing there is a problem helps us become part of the solution.
Wow! This is why your reporting is so important, Gabe. I would have never heard of these bills otherwise, and it’s heartening to know that occasionally, and probably despite themselves, our legislators pass something this important. Thank you!
A much better week for bipartisanship. It’s good to know that there can still be agreement on saving the lives of children and folks with disabilities. Some days you help treat my cynicism

Can’t tell you how much that means to me. Thank you for reading!

What happened to the bipartisan WEP bill?
Good question — it notched the necessary signatures to force a vote on 9/19, but discharge petitions take seven legislative days to ripen (that’s days the House is actually in session). That means a vote will be forced when the House returns in November.
Thank you for this uplifting news for Friday <3
A side note though, it is shocking that people with disabilities have been so discriminated against in the organ transplant process!

Way to go Gabe!
For starters this stood out for me:

Thank you for showing that the goodness in people can still produce results for The People.
In this election year it is a much needed reminder.
