"Today, I told reporters discussions are ongoing in the Senate over a short-term CR to prevent a #TrumpShutdown, but continuing to punt on appropriations is a failure on the part of Republicans, who control the House, Senate, & White House to get our work done on time."

"I also told reporters today that I disagree with the federal judge in Texas who ruled the #ACA unconstitutional. Next Congress, Democrats will act to ensure the House as a body will join the court case in defense of the ACA & its protections for people with pre-ex conditions."

"I also said to reporters today that I was pleased to see the Senate pass the bipartisan criminal justice reform bill, the #FirstStepAct. I hope the House can take action on this important legislation this week."
