When was the last time there was any action...

... on any legislation not having to do with impeachment and investigations? Stuff like health and the economy and infrastructure. Remember infrastructure??? We were going to have bipartisan work on infrastructure!! Did we? Will we????

Are investigations the only thing congress does?

Don't get me wrong. I know they're necessary. But still....

200 to 250, on everything you can think of. It just 25% were passed it would make our lives better. Everything from pre-existing conditions and lower drug prices to protecting our national parks and endangered species, honoring the clean air and water acts. It's an incredible array of positive legislation. And Moscow Mitch blocks every single one of them.
