Republican Outrages
Today, the House passed a bill to continue funding the government for an additional week while negotiations continue on a bill to fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year.
I am so pleased to be here, in the House. I am not pleased that we are considering a Continuing Resolution.

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. This will be included in the FOIA rule that the House will vote on tomorrow. Democrats offered an amendment to have this rule apply only to appropriations measures, which Republicans rejected.
Now that their party controls the levers of government, Republicans will be held responsible for any changes to our health care system that take place on their watch.
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.
Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. At the end of the week, President Trump will reach his hundredth day in office.
