Weekly Check In April 15

[tanaqui]

From the raid on Michael Cohen's office and the horrific gas attack in Syria, to Comey's book and the chaotic and incompetent response to events in Syria -- by way of possibly declaring war via Twitter -- it's been another barely believable week….

There's not been much new stuff in the comm this week, but there are a lot of ongoing actions if you're looking for something to work on. Also, a reminder, that we have a post for Planning Ahead in Case of Mueller Firing.

Action: SNAP benefits -- the comment period is closed, but you may still want to contact your reps about this to help move it up their agendas.
