Despite all these things, when the Democrats took over the House earlier this year in January, one of the first thing they did, Articles of Impeachment were introduced earlier this January in the House.

Elections have consequences.

We came to lower healthcare costs, and that is exactly what we did today. We voted on H.R. 3 today to lower prescription drug prices.
