MeetThePress DO IT....DO IT
Quit your DAMN THREATS & DO YOUR DAMN JOB!!! WHINERS!
MeetThePress When are the Democrats going to learn, this entire administration believes that they are above the law and answer to no one. Stop threatening and get the processes started.Don't stand around and wait, the longer you wait the more damage trump will do to our country.
MeetThePress Isn't is strange that Democrats don't want to know how many US citizens live in the US?
About time they are held accountable
Eric Holder, as AG under Obama, set the precedent: It's OK to flip off Congress.
Cummings has his own agenda powered by the Congressional Black Caucus. You should see the ads he and they are putting out. To see them just go to their site and request to be placed on their mailing list. You will not believe by what you De that these folks are Americans.
😂
TabbyChaps Stop threatening. Press the go button.
MeetThePress Dont THREATEN! DO IT! BE SMART BUT BE RUTHLESS!!!!!!
Here is a story you won’t see on NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC for obvious reasons.
I’m thrilled to see our elected officials really fighting for American interests. Why, asking a person a citizenship question on a census to determine demographic trends is just plain preposterous. I’m glad the DNC’s priorities are aligned with those of the American people.
if you're not a US citizen you should not be in this country. It's just that simple and you should not be counted on the census enough sense of chicanery on behalf of the Democrats
Just ass backwards Democrats doing what Democrats do.
MeetThePress
Good, they need to start kicking a**. After seeing trump's sister get off her ethics charges for fraud related to jointly held properties and business with her brother, you know the criminal activity runs deep in that family.
they all just say no....what will contempt of congress do?....yeah, nothing.....
They didn't care when Comey and Rosenstein were obstructing everything about the FISA Warrants. Double standard Democrats.
Ask Eric Holder how that will workout?
It’s absolutely infuriating that the census bureau would attempt to determine how many undocumented citizens currently live within our boarders. US Citizenship IS NOT not the business of the US government or its agencies!
What has the House majority accomplished so far? Just sounds like they complain a lot, and they did that just as well when they were the minority.
Isn`t the census supposed to count Americans. It is a census of Americans, NO?
Just do it already, are you not paying attention?
Oversight need to do this. They’re getting tooled by the Executive Branch. Fight fire with fire. Do NOT waste more time.

House Democrats' net neutrality win likely DOA in Senate but poised to become 2020 issueThe House voted to revive Obama-era net neutrality regulations in what likely amounts to a short-lived legislative victory — but one that may give Democrats fresh momentum on an issue they hope will feature prominently in the 2020 presidential election Net Neutrality is the basic principle that prohibits internet service providers from speeding up, slowing down or blocking any content, applications or websites you want to use, such as NETFLIX. Neutrality is needed to foster job growth, competition and innovation. netneutrality The Democrats as a whole (not Markey there) need to stop alienating the people who would vote for them by attempting to control them and outcomes. If Trump and the Rs win it's because the Democrats tried to control the people instead of being controlled by them.

2020 candidates struggle to convince home-state voters they’re ready for White HouseFor much of the 2020 Democratic field, there’s little home advantage to be found. Never before has the designation of a favorite daughter or favorite son candidate appeared so meaningless Must be racism or sexism and have nothing to do with her being an unlikable fraud. Kamala Harris is not very popular. She is seen as the shady AG she was by most folks I know. Others just don't know about her and are lemmings who will vote for whatever Democrat. HarrisMnuchin2020

It won’t ever happen and everyone knows it. okay fine, ill do it. sorry You are so damn right.!!!!!!!!

Well that's his job as an attorney. But of course he is wrong. What he calls 'opposition research' is usually called counter-intelligence. Poor baby. Deal with it.
