It seems like any member of Congress you talk to, Republican or Democrat, they've got some kind of frustration with that relationship on the ground with the Corps of Engineers because of how projects work and come out of Washington with a lot of red tape, i'm going to be fighting to make sure they're not left behind, but it's a valid concern that gets raised in times like this.

The President defense is that those things didn't happen. by Steve Scalise

The President defense is that those things didn't happen.

First of all, this is nothing like the Bill Clinton and the Nixon impeachment, both sides got to call witnesses under Bill Clinton and under Nixon. The presidents legal counsel was in the room, able to ask questions to the witnesses. ... In fact, the resolution they just passed in a very partisan way gives the chairman the full discretion to kick the presidents legal counsel out of the room and to veto any witnesses that we would call. That was in the resolution.

Whether or not the president submits a formal proposal, he has been having good-faith negotiations and conversations with a number of senators from both parties, i'm not sure ... ultimately if they're going to get an agreement, but they are having some good-faith negotiations.

With her background as majority whip in West Virginia, she was the perfect person to add on to the whip team.

The reports that there will be no new indictments confirm what we've known all along: there was never any collusion with Russia. The only collusion was between Democrats and many in the media who peddled this lie because they continue to refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election.

Steve King comments about Hurricane Katrina victims are absurd and offensive, and are a complete contradiction to the strength and resilience the people of New Orleans demonstrated to the entire nation in the wake of the total devastation they experienced.

This bill takes a bipartisan approach to re-opening the closed portions of the federal government. It pairs the border security investment that our nation needs with additional immigration measures that both Democrat and Republican members of Congress believe are necessary. Unlike the bills that have come from the House over the past few weeks, this proposal could actually resolve this impasse. It has the full support of The President and could be signed into law to quickly reopen the government. the time for political games has long passed. Democrats must put their personal dislike of The President aside, end their obstruction, and finally come to the negotiating table. Its time Democrats do what is right for the functioning and security of our nation and agree to a deal that opens our government, and includes funding for a border wall and other measures to solve this serious immigration crisis at our southern border.
