I guess I’m confused about not seating the convicted Congresswoman from Florida. I thought the rule for not seating had to do with residency, age and citizenship?
I know it’s silly to be surprised she is running but the concept of shame seems to have disappeared from our society.
I suppose going to E15 all summer by law would be OK? Trump tried to allow it a few years ago using EPA regulations but the courts stopped it.
Ethanol itself is an OK thing. You get a little less mileage than pure gasoline. But an EPA study showed that using corn as the source would be better for the environment than pure gas. Well, now it doesn't look like that's actually the case. The additional carbon released by converting non farmland is so much higher than they realized. Growing corn for ethanol takes at least 14 years to break even on carbon emissions. Switchgrass is a much better source for creating ethanol. It also grows well in more areas than corn.

Congratulations on your 42 years of work! I believe you wrote within the last couple of weeks that Speaker Pelosi's refusal to accept Reps Banks and Jordan to the Jan 6th Select committee was NOT the first time a speaker had done this. Could you refresh my memory? I'm in a bit of a FB debate about that with one of my Trump cult friends. Thanks!
Morning Jamie,
I guess I’m confused about not seating the convicted Congresswoman from Florida. I thought the rule for not seating had to do with residency, age and citizenship?

The House can choose not to seat any member for any reason
I’ll be darned. I must be getting old but this is why I love this newsletter!
Thanks!

Who is "she" in that first paragraph?

Under the rules of the House, the Speaker has the power to name all members of select committees.
