It's Constitution Day, so if anyone wants to hand a copy of it to the House Democrats and let them see all the powers they actually have, that'd be super.

Democrat oversight going as always.

Depending on how you count, 39 Republicans and 18 Democrats are not running for re-election. That includes 13 Republicans and 10 Democrats who are leaving to seek another office, such as governor. Excluding them, 26 Republicans and eight Democrats are walking away from their political careers at the end of the 115th Congress."I went over the facts in my head, and admired how much uglier the situation had just become.

Re: 116th Congress: Episode 2 The Turtle Has Total Control
Lewandowski seems happy to answer questions for Republicans after his rude and disrespectful treatment of @JacksonLeeTX18, who asked him to confirm statements in the Mueller Report. This is a battle over the creation of sound bites.
