It looks like there is a work around for that, but it involves the Rules Committee, which is typically appointed by the Speaker. So, yeah, not possible, outside of some exceptions that I'm not sure I understand well enough to explain. Something about things that are "privileged".

The concept is wonderful. I do not trust Elon with that concept. I worry that many folks with high hopes of this helping them will just end up used and hurt.

No, but seriously, as a parent who regularly gets texts and emails of crap that my kids want, teaching them to prune their links is next on my to-do list! It's annoying AF, but right now we're focused on the power of the "enter" button to add spaces between items on a list.
They sound like 90s grunge to me and I kinda love it. They also sound like teenagers, which is what they are (I think) so, there’s that. It’s like a mix of Hanson, Weezer, and Nirvana. It’s not bad, maybe not great, but what’s with all the hate/love/intergenerational controversy?
