2-McCarthy wants a revised legislative calendar, plans to resume committee activity, a plan to “mark-up high priority legislative items” & details on the Dems plan to institute proxy voting. Key excerpts below:
3-"In my view, conducting the business of the People’s House is the definition of ‘essential work’-- just as many of our friends and neighbors continue working to hold up our communities on a daily basis. Unfortunately, members have yet to be given specific guidance as to how
4-"Congress will fulfill its core duties-from deliberation to oversight to legislation -- over the coming days and weeks..I fully appreciate the unprecedented nature of this challenge before us.
5-"But now, more than ever, our constituents expect us to rise to the occasion and overcome these trying circumstances.”
This is not negotiation, this is pressure, on TRUMP'S behalf. #TuesdayThoughts
