The great folks at @538Politics provide our Trump Tracker numbers, showing how often each MoCs vote with #IMPOTUS.
We took all those 2019 numbers and show you each lawmaker’s high and low point, as well as their 2019 average.

Welcome to the Member of Congress Tracking Report for the week ending November 10, 2019. With Congress on recess this week, we are going to do things a bit differently this week. We are going to take a dive into #McConnellsGraveyard.

#GOP keeps trotting out their tired talking point about the “do-nothing-Dems” and all we can concentrate on is #Impeachment.
NOT TRUE.
What you’ll find below are 30 bills of the 300+ that #McConnell has stalled in the Senate.

Last night when I opened my @lyft app I saw new terms & conditions. Because I'm a lawyer, I scrolled. What I saw made me so mad I closed the app & hailed a cab. @lyft is not only forcing people into #arbitration, they are now requiring #PAGA waivers 😡⬇️ lyft.com/terms
@lyft What's #PAGA and why is it bad to waive your right to it? Since most companies now require #forcedarbitration, one of the only ways to get justice in court is through whistle blower statutes called "Private Attorney Generals Act's" populardemocracy.org/sites/default/…
We are clipping videos from today's hearing on the $1.5 Trillion #StudentDebtCrisis. Find them in this thread, starting with this unexpected question about @CongBillPosey's view on @TaylorSwift13.

@congbillposey @taylorswift13 .@RepPerlmutter asks Seth Frotman, formerly of the @CFPB and now at @theSBPC, about the impact of student debt on housing, borrowers of color, wealth building. #HassleForATassle
@congbillposey @taylorswift13 @RepPerlmutter @CFPB @theSBPC "@Navient is like the Comcast of student loan servicing"

New report from @EconomicPolicy and @PopDemoc: by 2024, more than 80% of private sector, non-union workers will be unable to sue their bosses due to forced arbitration clauses. #RipOffClause #EndForceAarbitration on.epi.org/2WMA5yb /1
That’s right: almost none of us will be able to take our employers to court. How did we get here? Corporations have been scheming for years to shield themselves from accountability when they violate the rights of workers and consumers. /2
In the late 1990’s, a coalition of Wall Street companies strategized to block class actions, one of the only tools working people have to challenge corporate abuses. nytimes.com/2015/11/01/bus… /3
@mrhunsaker @VanderbiltU @theNASEM @carlzimmer @meredithwadman @McLNeuro Exactly! Disturbing.
1) Who is responsible for oversight? enforcement? What are the so-called benchmarks these Unis are to meet? Are they enforceable vs #SexualMisconduct? Who determines this? @TIMESUPHC @MeTooSTEM @AnnOlivarius #Dartmouth7 @ADVANCEGeo @IBJIYONGI @JoshFessel

@mrhunsaker @theNASEM @carlzimmer @meredithwadman @McLNeuro @TIMESUPHC @MeTooSTEM @AnnOlivarius @ADVANCEGeo @IBJIYONGI @JoshFessel 2) Need to change public discourse from Action Collaborative members being seen as leaders to what many are--Unis with ongoing serious violations. Otherwise, these AC members can hide behind @theNASEM ‘spin’ @mbalter @k_langin #TIMESUPHC @TheOpEdProject @500womensci @ProfSharona

If you’re not shaking with fury about the @SenateGOP’s vote to kill the #ForcedArbitration rule, let me tell you why you should be.

1/ Forced arbitration is one of the most anti-consumer clauses you can find in a financial contract. It’s called #RipoffClause for a reason.
2/ Effectively, it means you sign away your right to sue that company, or join a class action, if they in some way injure or defraud you.
