"I get to have parental leave, but the poor don't!"
Glad it was a bipartisan showing of the rich at least
- Dems signing on for a rules change that allows a single Congressperson to declare themselves a delegate for multiple absent colleagues, as Trump works to consolidate the executive branch and gut the courts feels... unwise.
  
  In the specific situation of having just had a child, with a 12 week limit.
  I dont think this is the one thats going to be an issue.
  
  Agreed, this is stupid.
So? A few republicans broke rank to focus on something that might personally affect them. That’s exactly how conservatives work, they’re happy fucking everything until it’s related to them.
Wake me up when 9 republicans defend citizens not themselves.
This is SOCIALISM!
If you let Working Class people like ME do it! It's TOTALLY FINE if our Millionaire Representatives get to!
"...measure that would allow the new parents to designate a colleague to vote for them for 12 weeks after they or their spouse welcome a new child."
For some reason I read this as a spouse welcome a new child without the Congress person. (as in born of someone else)
- No delegation if the child isn't welcome, as well
I can’t fucking read this article.
