I agree with those who suggest the House should pass a bill and call Republicans to account for failing two pass it in the Senate. Democrats should pass every bill they want to because it will increase public pressure on Republican Senators. Right now their narrative is that Democrats are too busy with investigation to pass legislation.

We just need to pass our infrastructure bill in the House and campaign on it in 2020. ooky May 2019 #12

Not just that, but at least put that bill in the front row of the House and pass it this year. . .nt Bernardo de La Paz May 2019 #15
