After former Rep. Granger missed six straight months of votes and we didn’t realize, we set up this alert. It’s for us as much as our users. We can’t know if someone is missing votes until it’s happened. _Then_ we find out why (if we can; sometimes legislators won’t say) and update the page.

Top members of the House Appropriations Committee are considering allowing earmarks for the Labor-HHS-Education funding bill for the next fiscal year, lifting a self-restriction on the projects set by conservatives.

The house passes bills at a significantly greater rate than the Senate. They _could_ stick around and maybe vote on a few of those. Just a thought.
Senate is done for the week at 415 pm on a Thursday before a scheduled Saturday DHS shutdown.

Next vote is Feb. 23, though Thune says he'll call back members beforehand if there's a deal
