Doubting Thomas …

Josh,

I’m a researcher who spends loads of time on Thomas [the congressional website which publishes the text of legislation and other information on Congress] and I can tell you with 100% certainty that…

1) Thomas is slow to update. Fast moving bills don’t get posted in a timely manner. I’m talking weeks and not days.

2) Certain bills or amendments “of interest” do not appear until they are (well) passed.

Thanks,

GM

Sounds right.
