We ended the day with a tour of the House floor and a beautiful view off of the speakers balcony, courtesy of Ms. Latrice Powell, who is a fellow Mississippian! Now you see what it’s like to be an intern on Capitol Hill. #InternTakeoverpic.twitter.com/X884XgVdfb

One of the special things about our internship is the access that we have to Rep. Thompson. We love that he is never too busy to give us advice. This photo captured one of the many times that the Congressman made himself available to answer our questions. #InternTakeoverpic.twitter.com/7C7cw5Rooh

In the mornings, we have the chance to prep the congressman on the details of the day. This consists of trending topics, meetings, and votes on the floor. We make sure that Rep.

Take a look at this list of pre-existing conditions and chances are you'll identify with one or more of them. With this #SCOTUS vacancy, your protections against discrimination for having cancer or being a mother could be stripped away. #WhatsAtStake #StopKavanaughpic.twitter.com/P6mGqxCr4u
