It is *not* reasonable at any point in time to vote on something you haven't read when that is your job. Right now, lots of reps are doing that. It's not ok. Demand more. Demand proficiency in bill-reading and a commitment to read every single thing they vote on. Every. One.

If a rep is not provided enough time, they should say that. If they don't understand, they should say that too. We have time! The executive branch has emergency powers for things that don't have time for deliberative law. Demand law that is thoughtful & well-considered.

I have a story for the picture. The outfit still hangs in my closet. My husband encouraged me to put it on despite my insistence that it would be incredibly not hot, it wouldn't zip up, & would burn an image in his head he wouldn't forget. I have birthed 2 babes. I was right

It would have involved frosted tips. I'm not holding my breath.
