These new developments concerning Chairman Nunes are deeply disturbing, and I urge Speaker Ryan to remove him from his position as Chair of the House Intelligence Committee.
The FBI has now confirmed that the memo declassified by Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee is inaccurate because of ‘material omissions of fact.’

The President said he wanted to make us safer, stronger, prouder. I’m not sure whether he has accomplished any of those things either in the world or in our country… He has spent most of last year, almost all of the last year, doing two things with the Republican Congress: trying to repeal the Affordable Care Act and pass the tax bill that we think does not really help the middle-class working people of this country and, in fact, will pass a credit card debt along to all of our children.
[President Trump's State of the Union] called for bipartisanship, I don't think any of us thought on our side of the aisle, it was a very bipartisan speech.

Democrats strongly support robust funding for our military, and we agree with Pentagon leaders who have said that budget uncertainty hinders military planning and readiness – but it also damages every other government agency as well.
