Last week was a disaster for Donald Trump. From engaging in witness intimidation via Twitter during ongoing testimony to having the man who got him into politics declared guilty, Americans everywhere are watching this administration flail under the weight of its own corruption.
Yet in the midst of these hearings, Republicans can field only one attempt at a defense: “the Democrats aren’t doing anything!”
Absolutely wrong. My colleagues and I have sent literally 100s of bills to Mitch McConnell, many of which had bipartisan support! He’s blocked a vote on nearly all of them.
This isn’t some secret. Mitch McConnell openly brags about his Senate being a graveyard of progressive priorities and legislation. That’s because he’s not fighting for the American people -- he’s using his power to appoint unqualified judges, and defend the Trump administration for 2020.
Election security, the American Dream and Promise Act, the Equality Act, universal background checks, the minimum wage -- all of these are casualties of the system of government Mitch McConnell has forced upon us.
Thanks for all that you do,
