We're being governed by decree. The president decides on a figure, he sends it over and we don't even get a chance to look at it much before we're called upon to vote on it,

The House of Representatives has never sued a sitting president in all of U.S. history.

The president led us into the Iraq war on the basis of unproven assertions without evidence; he embraced a radical doctrine of pre-emptive war unprecedented in our history; and he failed to build a true international coalition.

Social Security has never failed to pay promised benefits, and Democrats will fight to make sure that Republicans do not turn a guaranteed benefit into a guaranteed gamble.

The sad truth is all of this is to pay for tax cuts to for the wealthiest people in our country.

Bipartisanship is nice, but it cannot be a substitute for action, not having it cannot prevent us from going forward.
