"Our problem is the Senate," Gerard said. "The only thing they can pass is the washroom."
Union leaders warn that the Democrats' lackluster performance in power is sapping the morale of activists going into the midterm elections.


“There’s no use pretending any longer.”


"You're just not going to be able to go to our membership in the November elections and say, 'Come on, let's do it again. Look at what the Democratic administration has done for us!'" Gage said. "People are going to say, 'Huh? What have the Democrats done for us?'"


"Our problem is the Senate," Gerard said. "The only thing they can pass is the washroom. I don't want to tar Democrats. Not all Democrats in the Senate are problems."

6. Metaphorically speaking, they seem to pass plenty of that.
You can smell the stink in the legislation that they do pass.
