    After today’s outrageous hearing in the Judiciary Committee, I just arrived on the House floor to set the record straight on Russia and the Steele dossier. I’m going to read the dossier into the Congressional Record.

    This summer, in response to a cavalcade of lies by Trump and his associates about their contacts w/Russian officials, I read the Steele Dossier into the Congressional Record. If accurate, this report confirms yet another element of the dossier.

    On day six of the , OPM is advising govt employees to send mercy letters to creditors, consult “personal attorneys,” and barter w/landlords over rent. Americans’ lives are being upended by Trump’s temper tantrum. This is a disgrace.

    Feds, here are sample letters you may use as a guide when working with your creditors during this furlough. If you need legal advice please consult with your personal attorney.

    This needless shutdown is a Trump shutdown. Despite controlling all three branches of government, Republicans still are incapable of governing. Donald Trump is throwing a child’s temper tantrum and Republicans prefer stroking his unhinged ego to running a country.

    We were proud to defeat Republicans’ early Christmas present to private insurance companies, includ those who take advantage of our constituents. In the impending Dem House we will push for bipartisan, sustainable flood insurance reform.

    Joined in defeating a last minute GOP effort to add a controversial giveaway to insurance companies as part of an extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) at the expense of policyholders and taxpayers.
