The good news is that you can be part of the solution now. And you're not alone. There were a ton of young voters turning out for the election last year.
Includes rule that all bills must be available to read 72 hours before the vote. Also includes last-minute addition containing the final concessions given to the Freedom Caucus that only the handful of people that wrote it got to see before voting on it. >

While simultaneously jamming 6 or so bills through, and 2 concurrent resolutions that will be treated as read.
Read Section 5. >


Read Section 5.

Could you explain? I am trying to get this, but so far my reading of the rules package indicates that the new 72 hour rule only applies to Calendar Wednesday described in Clause 6(a) of rule XV. You say there is something that effects this under "section 5". Clause 5 of rule XV talks about the "Private Calendar" so this isn't the section 5 you are talking about. >

Section 5, which starts on page 50 of the rules package will move into immediately passing 10 (exact count) bills and 2 concurrent resolutions that will not be read, all points of contention on the bills are waived, and only an hour debate split between parties for each. >


that will not be read

The wording "shall be considered as read" is standard. I think you are reading more into this than is actually there.
​

all points of contention on the bills are waived

All points of order against the bills are waived. This is standard for special rules like this. Otherwise, what would be the point of using special rules?
​

only an hour of debate split between parties

Sometimes it is an hour, sometimes it is two hours. Very rarely it is some other amount of time. So this is also standard.
​
You seem to be seeing this as jamming through legislation, when in actuality this is the special rules that are normally used. >

I liked my life better when I was in my early 20’s and didn’t care about politics. Now, I just realize what a shit show this life really is.
