I join the Republican leader on the need to address the scourge of opioid addiction. It is a scourge. That is why it is more important than ever that we back our words with real solutions, real resources. That is why the amendment by Senator Shaheen to the opioid bill will be important. I hope it gets every consideration, and I hope it passes. ____________________

More from Harry Reid
He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
