“This is actually an opportunity for us to speak to the American people with clarity: They say one thing, and they do another,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said of Republicans, adding that the new Democratic plan would “stop the sabotage” of former president Barack Obama’s signature health-care law.House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth said Sunday’s release of the summary of Mueller’s findings has forced Democrats to refocus on their legislative agenda.
“I believe that the Mueller report has been done,” House Majority Whip James E. Clyburn said during an interview with CNN on Tuesday morning. “That’s a chapter that’s closed, and I think that last night, this administration opened a new chapter when it moved to completely invalidate the Affordable Care Act, and that to me is the number one thing on people’s minds.”The Justice Department argued in a filing with the U.S.
Even some of the more liberal members of the caucus sounded skeptical about moving forward with impeachment, however. “It’s only a few us of who have talked about impeachment,” she said. “It’s never been a caucus [priority].” Besides health care, other issues discussed included a paycheck fairness bill and plans to address farmers suffering because of flooding in the Midwest.
It is the only option given TheJusticeDept is now Trump’s Tool.
Lots of women and,children aw dying for lack of healthcare mainly on left. And democrats care zero about them.
Not just healthcare; it is a laundry list we are voting for in 2020, our enviroment, healthcare, supreme court justice (free RBJ), taxing the rich, infrastructure and getting rid of Trump, Mitch and the GOP! Vote Dem in 2020 Bluewave this!!!
You control the House and ACA is already the Law.
WHAT MUELLER FINDINGS? We DON'T HAVE them! Stop publishing this irresponsible crap already. You should know better.
It's logical. He hasn't been fully exhonerated but his attacks on and destroying of the economy should be stopped. He is slowly dismantling America.
What Mueller findings? Why won’t you share them with us? We paid our effing subscription. Pony up.
No. Do not allow Trump to change the topic. Continue with the investigations. Let him get rid of the ACA. Just let him do that. I beg you. It will be one of his worst mistakes and will help us in 2020
Democratic leaders must focus to investigate Hillary Clinton's Crimes. And They must focus to investigate themselves Crimes. Furthermore They must focus to investigate All Democrats member and supporters. Because the Democrats require innocence to Party member and supporters.
Thank You and SpeakerPelosi
Democrats 2020: Ignore the conspiracy theories we wasted two years on. Oh yeah, we promise we won't screw up healthcare this time.
We haven’t even seen the report Demand they release the report Individual 1 hasn’t been exonerated Bet there’s damning info in it ReleaseFullMuellerReport ReleaseFullMuellerReport ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport ReleaseMuellerReport ReleaseTheFullMuellerReportNOW
We Don’t know what Mueller findings are So stop with the misleading headlines...... Grrrrrr
Republicans and Trump are going to use revenge as political tactic in the 2020 election, but want Dems to move on. It’s started already. Is it never going to stop?
Ok, but how about a renewed focus on Russian interference in the election process? Last I heard that was still a thing, with or without collusion. Maybe could even encourage the president to lead on that.

Considering what is in Trump's new budget proposal, concentrating on healthcare seems a good idea now.
What findings? Nobody has read the report
Treason and Crime in the Oval Office IS what matters.
This IS the distraction! We need to keep all the balls in the air!!!! Resist
We are not in the wake of the Mueller findings. We’re in the wake of a vaguely worded summary by trumps personally selected fixer AG. Stop allowing the narrative that it’s done perpetuate. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
whoa, SpeakerPelosi saw the Mueller Report? Can she share it with the rest of us? I'd like to see it.
Forget the last two years, we have a new enemy now... healthcare, or climate change, or something. Just as long as you forget the last two years.
😂😂😂😂😂 Gotta change the narrative, right WaPo? washingtonpost fakenews changethenarrative pullthewoolovereveryoneseyes
They messed it up once and they will again
We are fighting for healthcare because they are trying to take it & kill thousands if not millions by eliminating pre-existing conditions coverage... You don't want to be on the wrong side in this fight.
bc next week is April fool ? 🤣🤣🤣
You mean in wake of Barr Summary, right?
No one knows what the findings are besides the Barr summary which we know where he stands. Why don’t you focus more on that.
But no one knows the Mueller findings.
And Trump just provided them with a lot of ammunition.
