In any case, if you do talk to your Congressperson, I'm happy to log it.News: rules change to OCE has been pulled, just now at conference meeting in Capitol basement— Robert Costa (@costareports) January 3, 2017
And I'll try it in the future if we have more notice. Now that we're starting to move from the looking-back part of this blog's mission (post-mortems), it's something I'd love to do for our #damagecontrol mission.
UPDATE (1/3/2017, 12:29 PM): I just spoke to Congressman Hakeem Jeffries's (D-NY) office and they said they didn't know why it happened, but are happy it did and that the Republicans will accept the OCE's rules for the time being. I think all of our pushing on Twitter last night couldn't have hurt.
