1. Jackson-Lee on now

suggesting that all reps hold town meetings in their districts on the $87 billion. Congress isn't even getting a full accounting of the expenditures. Americans are suffering because of the money drained from education, etc. It isn't reasonable to ask reps to vote to approve the $87 billion without giving the info.

wants to know when the next request will come

3. Kudos to the whole group.

Their discussions are measured and reasoned. Makes me proud to be a Dem. (And ticked as all get-out that they have to meet this late at night to be heard!)
