And governing....Democrats say the goal is not necessarily a return to big government or to quickly start impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump but to reassert Congress' ability to govern, which they say diminished under Republicans....We really do want to restore the Democracy, make it work for people, said Rep. John Sarbanes, D-Md., who is leading the effort on H.R. 1.... A lot of the tea party people arrived in Washington a few years ago with this mission of tearing government down, Sarbanes told AP in an interview. You have Democrats arriving in this class who very much want to fix it, repair it, strengthen it, restore it. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
