good for this guy for trying to learn more about the stuff he’s regulating. although i can’t help but feel concerned that “congressman wants to understand the things he’s regulating” is a headline news story. shouldn’t this be the bare minimum?
They used to have an office dedicated to this stuff.

Yup. This is my guy, my VA rep. I remember getting either a mailer, or a newsletter, or whatever, update from his office talking about him starting this. Thought it was great and locked in my support. I agree we need to keep flowing in young blood into congress, but Don is still doing good work and doing his best to keep relevant.
NGL, I can respect that. Probably on tax money let’s be honest, but kudos for wanting to be informed.
Honestly, I’d much rather tax money go to that than to hand outs for corporations
I’d GLADY use my tax dollars to educate my representatives about new technology.
Yeah but he got free classes while the rest of us suffered. Like to know how he vote on student loan debt.

That’s his record of votes and proposed legislation for the current Congress.

That’s a bill he supported in committee.
He has also worked with Sanders and Warren to convince Biden to expand debt relief granted through the executive branch. As far as congressmen go, he’s a good one.
Awesome! Next, do gynecology so you can help regulate women’s bodies!
He’s pro choice and proposed federal legislation to guarantee the right to both medication and surgical abortion and to require insurance to cover it. He has sponsored bills to protect IVF and other reproductive treatment, to give everyone paid sick leave specifically including parents taking leave to care for sick children, to expand Medicare to cover all citizens.
I’m not sure how much more he can support the right to bodily autonomy.

He can get pregnant and then have an abortion to show his support.
Not sure why you’re getting the down votes, that was funny AF :)
