Paying off bets

Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Calif., rolled a cart of sandwiches over to the office of Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, to pay off their bet on the World Series. Lee’s Houston Astros beat Gomez’s Los Angeles Dodgers in the series.

Bacon’s Gold Star families bill passes

Nebraska Republican Rep. Don Bacon’s first bill to pass through the House is on a topic important to him: Gold Star families. The bill, heading to the Senate, amends the code that gives Gold Star families insurance to ensure that surviving spouses who remarry and their dependent children are eligible for the same benefits as those who don’t. 

“The core of this bill is about commitment, a commitment for life, and ensuring as a legislative body we support our Gold Star families and extend to them a small measure of compassion, dignity, and respect that their tremendous sacrifice deserves,” the retired Air Force general said in a statement.

Oops

A simple idea: Anyone convicted of domestic abuse should see their rights under the 2nd Amendment severely curtailed. https://t.co/bsyihrklJf

That’s been federal law for several decades now. You can even look it up: 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(9). #TheMoreYouKnow https://t.co/jGxBnWfj4J

You’ll be pleased to learn Senator that Congress already made your idea law! https://t.co/hwGpSWZ7ek

This is already law.

Is it so much to ask that members of Congress familiarize themselves with the topics they so eagerly wish to address? https://t.co/YFlwfqrXtw
