Congresswoman Brings Infant to Work to Tell Speaker Mike Johnson Not to Mess With Moms

It's about COVID-era proxy voting, or letting members of Congress delegate their voting duty so they can "work from home." Current rules require members of Congress to show up in person to vote. But Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, of whom we were a big fan until she threw up a red flag in joining with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on a bill to cap credit card interest rates, has left the Freedom Caucus over proxy voting. She believes mothers of newborns should be able to vote remotely.

… that would allow him to vote remotely. He viewed his job in Congress as a responsibility and a privilege, not an entitlement. 

If you are unable to fulfill the duties required of a member of Congress because you are a parent of a small child, feel free to resign. Many have before.

They're making it an issue. But is it a slippery slope?
