The $1.7b omnibus bill Congress just passed was 4,000 pages. Nobody who voted read it all. This is how it works: Leaders put together huge bills and order members to vote YES. This is a fundamentally broken and anti-democratic system. Let's have a few days to shine light on it. — PolitiTweet.org

Can someone tell me why it's so horrifying and devastating for Congress to take a few days to debate and negotiate over who should be third in line to the presidency and rule the House? Aren't debates of this kind called "democracy," as rare as it now is for Congress to do this? — PolitiTweet.org

The members you vote for to represent you in Congress have no power. That's why they turn into social media starts. They have little else to do. Paul Ryan and Pelosi centralized all power with a tiny group of leaders. Listen to @justinamash (24:00): https://t.co/wpOEBW0cMW — PolitiTweet.org
