WHAT’S A FILIBUSTER?
Unlike the House, the Senate places few constraints on lawmakers’ right to speak.
Senators can easily use the chamber’s rules to hinder or block votes. Collectively these procedural delays are called #filibusters. 2/20

Senate records say the term began appearing in the mid-19th century. The word comes from a Dutch term for “freebooter” and the Spanish “filibusteros” that were used to describe pirates. 3/20 #Filibuster #Pirates

Please help us! 💔
I was a practicing trial atty when I was bitten by a tick. I contracted E. Chaffeensis, Rickettsia, & what was later determined to be #Lyme.
I also contacted Coxsackie B4 virus-a cousin of polio. I wasn't treated for 11 mos. I have lost most use of my left side (I'm left- handed)

Please take a moment & read our story. 💔
NEWS!
I just found out that I will be getting $514/mo for SSI but that has to go towards our home & bills/food.
I still need help w/$198/mo RX.
Also received notice that foodstamps will be CUT to $15/MONTH! 😭
Who could possibly eat on 50 cents a day or survive on $17.13/day?
