The Trump administration has spent much of the past 24 hours blaming the president’s refusal to act on infrastructure on House Democrats, claiming they are too busy investigating him to pass any legislation.
But unlike the Republican-controlled Senate, the House of Representatives has actually passed hundreds of things in just a few months, including major legislation to protect LGBTQ Americans, restore American democracy, reduce gun violence, protect the climate, ensure equal pay for women, and expand health care protections for people with pre-existing conditions.
A day after President Donald Trump blew up a bipartisan negotiation session and gave a press conference that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called a “temper tantrum,” he issued a series of tweets making the false claim that House Democrats were “getting nothing done.”
The House has passed 248 things since January. And many of them are a big deal.
