WASHINGTON ― Republican lawmakers urged President Donald Trump to work with Democrats after he abruptly walked out of an infrastructure meeting with Democratic congressional leaders on Wednesday.
What apparently set the president off was a statement by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier Wednesday that by refusing all congressional requests for documents and testimony, Trump “is engaged in a cover-up.” In a press conference shortly after the aborted meeting, Trump again maintained his innocence in response to the allegations of obstruction of justice and growing calls for his impeachment from numerous House Democrats and even one Republican congressman.
“I assume that the president wouldn’t want to shut down everything,” Sen. Chuck Grassley told reporters on Wednesday, citing legislation aiming to lower prescription drug prices that he’s been working on in recent weeks. It’s difficult to see how this divided Congress produces any substantive legislation in the next year and a half, however. Infrastructure talks are effectively dead. Trump’s trade agenda hinges on an agreement that Democrats want the administration to renegotiate with Canada and Mexico. Trump’s immigration proposal is dead on arrival. Lawmakers are even struggling to pass a disaster relief package, which doesn’t bode well for more difficult tasks on the horizon like raising the debt ceiling.
Stop working the Democrats but instead work with them!

Democrats pit GOP against American public opinion on Roe v WadeSenate Minority Leader Schumer talks with Maddow about exposing Republican senators who won't admit to holding the unpopular position of opposing Roe v. Wade, but who consistently vote for judges who are likely to overturn it. maddow Democrats used to say abortion should be “safe, legal and rare”, a reasonable position focused on first trimester. Now they almost all support abortion to the moment of birth. Which side really changed? maddow Problem is that 28% is far more likely vote on that issue alone. Same with guns. Register and vote on this issue. maddow Part of the conservative backlash is the recent liberal legislative focus on late term abortion legislation, up to birth. Ask how many Americans support late term...
