House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that Democrats would continue to push their “For the People” agenda, which has been spearheaded by a sweeping voting rights, anti-corruption bill.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi closed the House Democrats’ annual spring retreat, the focus of which was to highlight Democratic accomplishments in the first 100 days of their majority, by pushing back at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who had told reporters that he wanted to make the 2020 elections a “referendum on socialism.”

“We need to have a referendum on socialism,” the Senate majority leader said. “I’m going to be arguing, and I’m encouraging my colleagues to argue, that we are the firewall against socialism in this country.” Republicans have opposed the bill, and Democrats knew when they passed it that the broad initiative would be dead on arrival in the Republican-controlled Senate.

She also took a swipe at President Donald Trump’s tax reform law, which a Republican-controlled Congress passed during his first year in office. Pelosi said it was engineered to benefit the rich, as the administration and Republicans point to lower unemployment and the creation of new jobs as proof its success, and claim that Americans are paying lower taxes.

For Mitch, helping folk is socialism.

Hey, SpeakerPelosi are you 'running away' from your 'SOCIALIST CANDIDATES' already? This is going to be so enjoyable, seeing AG Barr & DOJ investigate & expose the 'coup leaders' in the BHO Admin & to top that off with TheDemocrats trying to defend socialism as a USA 'dream'!!!

You don't like that label, Nance?

Nancy Pelosi unloads on Trump AG Barr: He's gone 'off the rails'House Speaker Nancy Pelosi makes plain that she doesn’t trust Trump’s Attorney General Bill Barr, but that she trusts Mueller. The New York Times’ Mara Gay tells Ari Melber, Barr appears to be “making the rules up as he goes along”, after Barr revealed he did not consult with Mueller before writing a letter claiming the Mueller report cleared Trump of obstruction.

'A new level of inhumanity': Democrats denounce White House idea to release migrants in sanctuary citiesThe revelation late Thursday that the White House tried multiple times to pressure immigration authorities into releasing migrants on to the streets of sanctuary cities did go over well with Democrats, who denounced the Trump administration as cruel. Nielson is already talking I see. She is correct - Sending anyone to San Francisco is despicable and inhumane Makes sense...why not? Isn’t that exactly what the sanctuary cities have said, “come to our town, and we’ll leave the light on for you” ?
