Congress
This week, the GOP-led House completed a six-week work period, and I am deeply disappointed that House Republicans’ dysfunction prevented the House from getting things done for the American people during that time.
Today’s procedural changes by Senate Republicans imperils the future of the Senate as a deliberative body and risks eroding the constitutional framework that safeguards the rights and representation of the minority under our system of government.
I continue to be deeply disturbed by the baseless and irresponsible accusations leveled against former National Security Advisor Susan Rice by President Trump.
One might have thought that House Republican leaders had gotten the message when they had to pull their disastrous health care bill from the Floor two weeks ago that the American people do not want to be forced to pay more for less and lose the protections of the Affordable Care Act.
It is entirely appropriate that Chairman Nunes should step aside from the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation, something he should have done days ago.
Today’s GOP Quote of the Day is brought to you by Rep. Steve Chabot on the failed TrumpCare bill. After seven years of promising to repeal and replace the ACA, the incompetence surrounding TrumpCare negotiations has surely been stunning:
The chemical weapons attack in Syria was a heinous war crime, and the Assad regime must be held accountable.
Today, on Equal Pay Day, I stand in solidarity with women across the country who demand equal pay for equal work.
I’m proud to join today in re-introducing The Paycheck Fairness Act.
