Since there seems to be some confusion among Republicans about what their latest TrumpCare bill does, we here in the Dem Whip Press Shop thought we’d clear things up for E&C Committee Chair Greg Walden, who told constituents:
The latest version of #TrumpCare would have the same harmful consequences as the bill Republicans were forced to pull from the Floor last month. So it should come as no surprise that the latest Whip count doesn’t seem to be going well for GOP leaders.
Last night, House Republicans took action that would allow them to bring their TrumpCare bill to the House Floor on Friday or Saturday – President Trump’s 100th day in office.
If Republicans announce their intention to bring their harmful TrumpCare bill to the House Floor tomorrow or Saturday, I will oppose a one-week Continuing Resolution and will advise House Democrats to oppose it as well.

ICYMI, the Rules Committee reported out a rule today that provides for same day rule and suspension authority through this Saturday, the 29th.

“’Fool me once,’ the old adage says, and ‘shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me.’

Saturday, April 29 marks Donald Trump’s 100th day as president. His first 100 days have been defined by chaos, incompetence and broken promises to the American people.
