Paul Revere A250: On the 18th of April, in ‘75/Hardly a man is now alive/Who remembers that famous day and year/He said to his friend, “If the British march By land or sea from the town to-night/Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch/Of the North Church tower as a signal light”

Thank you Karen Tumulty for supporting the effort to get CSPAN carried on YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV. It’s long past time for these major video distributors to allow their customers access to their elected representatives. #publicservice #civicduty

Here's the text to the 20 changes to the "One, Big Beautiful Bill" included in the recessions package rule. If the "self-executing" rule is approved by the House, these changes to the OBBB would automatically take place. rules.house.gov/sites/evo-subs…
