The American people deserve better than the chaos and divisiveness that House Republicans are trying to manufacture in the hopes it will help Donald Trump politically. Unfortunately, as they’ve demonstrated for more than a year now, that appears to be all they can offer hardworking families.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T20:21:00Z |
