Some senior House lawmakers, frustrated by a decade of frozen congressional salaries, are quietly exploring whether to accept an annual pay raise that they've shunned since Barack Obama was president. on.msnbc.com/2VqX19t
House Minority Leader McCarthy: "It's been more than a decade. I've got members who are leaving over this."

Rep. LaMalfa: "A salary increase for us? It's not very high on my radar and it'd be as popular as the plague. It'd show kind of a disconnect with the people."
House Majority Leader Hoyer: "Staff from diverse backgrounds are increasingly shut out, leading Congress to lose bright, dedicated staffers who would like to continue in public service but have difficulty making ends meet." nbcnews.to/30b9KeW #NBConPolicy

As President Trump visits today, frustrated Florida panhandle residents are still waiting for post-Hurricane Michael federal aid. on.msnbc.com/2VoJ8Zb - @albamonica (1/4)
@albamonica For example, “Mrs. Gail,” as she’s known, is hopeful that President Trump’s visit will bring much-needed attention to the community’s plight and, ideally, news of supplemental disaster relief that could help people like herself who remain in “dire need” of assistance. (2/4)
@albamonica Her frustration extends to Congress as well, which has failed to pass comprehensive federal funding for the area. “When they leave the Congress, they can go to nice rides, nice cars, homes, and they all right. They don’t worry about money. We worry about money.” (3/4)

Today, the @TXSBOE will hear public testimony on eliminating Helen Keller, Hillary Clinton and dozens of other people from the state's history curriculum.

Follow me for live tweets from the debate and read this for background: dallasnews.com/news/education… #txlege #txed
@TXSBOE And we're off!

The @TXSBOE has gaveled in. Chair Bahorich says live stream is down, so I'm glad I'm here in person!

First up today is public testimony on the changes to the social studies curriculum. 35 people have signed up to speak. #txlege #txed
@TXSBOE Some curriculum changes have gotten more attention than others.

Yes, Helen Keller and Hillary Clinton (both recommended, not required, to be taught) are on the chopping block.

But there are DOZENS of other proposed changes too.

1) My new and improved updated theory on John Huber, the Mueller Special Council and Rod Rosenstein.

"They're White Hats" edition.

#QAnon #WWG1WGA @POTUS #GreatAwakenening #redpill #PatriotsFight #walkaway
2) #Qanon returned yesterday. Life is better when Q posts. In it he made reference to Huber again and in a separate post linked to a @Judgenap video where something key is mentioned.

#WWG1WGA @POTUS #GreatAwakenening #redpill #PatriotsFight #walkaway
3) The point of the post was for us to understand the document was declassified to honor the FOIA request, but remains redacted because the content contains criminally prosecutable activity.

As everyone applauds Republican Rep. Will Hurd tonight...

Remember, he's on the House Intelligence Committee. He's voted with Nunes and the GOP on each and every measure, including on their sham "Russia Investigation" findings and today's vote against subpoenaing the translator.
#FTR: We should applaud Republicans who break from Trump and their party.

At the same time, we should be aware of their actions, and how, even as recently as today, they contradict their words.

We must encourage them to take those words and turn them into concrete action.
We should welcome Rep. Hurd's words and encourage matching action.

I've feared we wouldn't see Republicans like Sen. Edward Brooke — the first (of many that followed) to break w/ the GOP and call for Nixon's resignation.

I hope those fears are unfounded.
