Republican Outrages

Americans are sick and tired of the blatant partisanship that too often puts party ahead of commonsense governing. 

[President Trump] looked at the American people in the eye, when he talked to the Joint Session of Congress, and said I want to assure you that I’m going to cover everybody with insurance.

Today, House Judiciary Committee Republicans blocked resolutions of inquiry from coming to the Floor that would have shed light on connections between President Trump, his advisors, and Russia's efforts to undermine our election. 

Wanted to be sure you saw Republicans in both chambers are joining Democrats in calling on Chairman Nunes’ to recuse himself from the House Intelligence Committee investigation on Russia. These Republicans agree that Rep. Nunes no longer has credibility, which underscores the need for an independent commission. Take a look at what they had to say: 

Rep. Bill Pascrell's resolution of inquiry seeks to provide a means for the American people to find much-sought and much-deserved answers about Donald Trump's many potential conflicts of interest. 

Clearly, Chairman Nunes and the Trump White House are scared of what the public might learn, and by canceling a public hearing on Russian involvement in the election they are denying the American people the full scope of information that might come forward.

Well, the bill keeps getting worse and worse and, of course, the deficit reduction the Republicans were claiming has now been halved by the changes they made. 

If Republican leaders were hoping that the Congressional Budget Office’s cost and impact estimate for their amended health care bill would make any Member more likely to support it, I suspect they are now sorely disappointed.
