Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. At the end of the week, President Trump will reach his hundredth day in office.

Once again, House Republicans are floating text of a new TrumpCare bill that is no better than any of the previous versions before. 

I was proud to join my colleagues in cosponsoring this resolution.

Cost sharing reductions are and should continue to be permanent, mandatory funding. That is the law. 

According to a NBC/Wall Street Journal poll released today, nearly three out of four Americans agree with bipartisan calls for an independent commission to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 election. Now if only GOP leaders would listen…

The Trump White House must not remember how the last shut down played out. With just four days in session before the April 28 deadline, reports indicate the White House and some Republicans are ready to shut down the government in order to fund their border wall. A look at some recent polling shows just how unpopular that would be with the American people:

From CQ Roll Call:

It’s clear Republicans aren’t listening to constituents back home who “want this repeal crap to stop.” After pulling TrumpCare from the Floor, they are now planning a vote on a revised (read: worse) bill, just so they can say they voted on it before President Trump reaches 100 days in office.

After having to withdraw their disastrous TrumpCare bill last month amid unprecedented public disapproval, President Trump and House Republican leaders should not make the same mistake again next week. 

President Trump was right when he declared that 'the longer I'm behind this desk and you have Obamacare, the more I would own it.'  

April 12th marks 100 days of the GOP-controlled 115th Congress. Republicans are the governing party, with majorities in both the House and Senate and control of the White House. Yet their deep division and dysfunction has resulted in chaos, incompetence, and the inability to govern.
