"Today I opened up my weekly press conference by reading a quote from @SenateMajLdr in 2014: "Remember me? I am the guy that gets us out of shutdowns It's a failed policy." If McConnell believes that, he should put the House-passed bills on the Floor to end the #TrumpShutdown."
"I told reporters that House Dems will bring bills to the Floor every day to reopen the govt & end the #TrumpShutdown so taxpayers can receive tax refunds, families can receive nutrition assistance, families won't be evicted, & Americans can safely enjoy national parks."
"Dems are willing to negotiate border security, but there's no reason to hold government hostage while those discussions continue. The Administration continues to push for walls or fencing -- experts agree neither are effective solutions to secure our borders."
"While speaking w press, I said the House will vote on Title III of the Rules package that affirms protections for 133M Americans w pre-ex conditions. The GOP claimed during the election they support these protections. This vote will show the American people if that is the case."
"Last week, @RepSarbanes & House Dems introduced H.R. 1, a government reform package to clean up corruption & restore Americans' faith in government. I told reporters I look forward to bringing it to the House Floor for a vote after its consideration in committee."
