Rep. McIver joins rare group who have given birth in Congress (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rep. LaMonica McIver, D-N.J., announced the arrival of her daughter this week, boosting the ranks of congresswomen who have given birth in office. It’s still a small group — just 14 others have given birth to children while serving as sitting members of Congress, according to the House historian’s office. The announcement, which she posted Thursday on social media alongside a picture of her holding a swaddled newborn, comes amid an ongoing legal battle. She faces up to 17 years in prison over a
Lawmakers’ stock trading bill falls short in Senate (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A bill to rein in stock trading by members of Congress did not clear a first procedural hurdle to advance in the Senate on Wednesday, after passing the House on a mostly party-line vote in July. Democrats tanked a motion to invoke cloture on proceeding to the bill in a 53-47 vote, which fell seven votes shy of the 60 required to advance the measure. The vote stymied any chance of further action on the topic as senators get ready to head out of town until after the midterm elections. Dubbed the S
How is ‘Mean Girls’ like gerrymandering? Ask these former Hill staffers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the surface, it wouldn’t seem like an early-aughts teen comedy has much in common with the drawing of congressional maps. Don’t tell that to Rory Riley Topping and Josh Rultenberg, who spend a good chunk of their new book referencing “Mean Girls.” The authors of “Draw the Line in Ohio” are on a mission to break down gerrymandering for a wider audience, one “get in, loser” at a time. “People who care about politics, they can nerd out,” Topping said, but most people’s “eyes glaze over” when you
Background checks should be mandatory for Hill staff, Cammack says (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When you land a job in most parts of the federal government or the private sector, you can expect a fairly standard step — a criminal background check. Want to work for your member of Congress? No background check necessary. Rep. Kat Cammack, R-Fla., hopes to change that. A resolution introduced by Cammack would amend House rules to force employees to undergo criminal background checks conducted by Capitol Police. It also would require them to disclose any payments they may have received from fo
Calder clouds are rising on Capitol Hill (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Outside, the weather was sunny with a slight breeze, a perfect early fall afternoon. But inside the Hart atrium, it was starting to look overcast — Alexander Calder’s Mountains and Clouds sculpture was one step closer to being restored to its original design. Workers prepped the dark metal “clouds” of the mobile to be hoisted into the air. The process isn’t done quite yet, according to Sen. Chris Murphy, who has advocated for the restoration for years. “I think the clouds are being hung this wee
