AL Sen to GOP Leadership:
A freshman Republican senator said he sent a letter to GOP leadership asking them to cancel the annual August recess because there is a lot left to do on Capitol Hill.
"We need to work as hard as President Trump is working," Sen. Luther Strange (R-Ala.) said on "America's News HQ."
He and Eric Shawn joked that it would be nice to take a summer respite down in Gulf Shores, but said that work must come before play.
"We should be rolling up our sleeves," he said, adding that taking a break without fully addressing health care, the debt ceiling and tax reform "doesn't sit well" with him.

Congress working as hard as Trump? Is Luther Strange aware that taxpayers funding THAT many Country Club memberships could increase the budget deficit by a point or two?
