Saturday marks 100 days since President Trump took office. He is far from ``draining the swamp'' as promised. He stacked his administration with billionaires, family members, and people with dangerous ties to Russian interests. His national security policies have been a far cry from the steady- handed decisionmaking he promised. From Mar-a-Lago missile strikes to aggressive and impulsive national security rhetoric, the President has made our foreign policy as murky as swamp water--a dangerous practice in today's world. One hundred days in, the President is heavy on alternative facts and light on action. Where is his job bill? Where is his infrastructure and cybersecurity plan? Where is all of the ``winning'' we were supposed to be sick of by now? It has been 100 days, Mr. President. It is time to do something the American people can get behind. You can start by draining the swamp you created at the White House. Mr. Speaker, I would also like to recognize the life and legacy of Donna Lynn Johnson who, for 40 years, brought quality eye care to the South Side of Chicago. She will be greatly missed by her patients, family, and especially her niece, Donna Miller. Lastly, I am proud to have Baily Lynn Compton from Texas as my shadow today. ____________________
