.@SpeakerRyan<mailto:.@SpeakerRyan> has recessed the House w/out a #budget vote or action on health crises. #DoYourJob for the American people who sent us here!

GOP is so vexed by their #budget debacle that they want to scrap the Budget Committee altogether? ¯\_(◔̯◔)_/¯ ... Americans deserve better.

FACT of the day:

"The American people have waited more than 2,200 days – and endured 63 House GOP votes to repeal or undermine the Affordable Care Act – to see the Republican fantasy plan to replace the ACA. And even though Republicans have admitted that they’re never going to actually produce a replacement bill, Speaker Ryan finally teased out the big idea that the GOP spent six years thinking up: ‘An Old Idea That Doesn’t Work,’ according to The Huffington Post." – Press Office of the Democratic Leader

QUOTE of the day:

"More than two months after the White House asked Congress for more than $1.8 billion to fight the Zika virus, Congress has yet to provide it. President Barack Obama, Republicans claim, has failed to explain in sufficient detail how his administration would spend the money. Perhaps his 25-page proposal, sent to House Speaker Paul Ryan in February, got lost in interoffice mail. If so, no worries: There’s also a summary on the Web. Most of the money -- about $1.5 billion -- will go to the Department of Health and Human Services to help states control the mosquito that carries the virus, expand programs to test for it, and work on developing a vaccine." – Bloomberg New, Editorial Board, Congress Has No Good Reason to Delay Zika Funding
