thisfinecrewIt's 2018 folks, and a lot of big issues are still pending - DACA, Children's Health Care, and yes, keeping the government open, once again.

Reminder that we have a suggestion post if there’s a topic that you’d like to see discussed but would like to ask the mods to look into. This can be anything from general information, or a how-to-do-a-thing, or something you may want to discuss as a community. Folks are welcome to post directly to the comm as always, but if you’re not comfortable/don’t have spoons, we can help too.
As we don't always get the time to pull things out of the suggestions post into their own separate posts, it may be worth checking every week (or tracking the post) to see if there's any new information you're interested in.
Also if you need help with tags, PMredbird, who is our tag guru. Both tanaqui and I are very grateful for the help.
So, what have you all been up to in the last week or are planning to get involved in next week?
Personally, I've been trying to make Wednesday my call Congress day.
