My office is now accepting applications for the Uniformed Service Academies. Deadline is Oct 19th. More info:

USPS, hemorrhaging $$, defaults on another billion-dollar loan & asks Congress to act. GOP replies "Can it wait? We're on vacation."

Glad to see House pass an important bill to protect gov whistleblowers who risk their careers to challenge waste fraud & abuse.

GOP leadership shld bring the full House back to DC to pass POTUS jobs bill, middle class tax cuts, sequester replacement

This yr the recessed earlier than any Congress since 1960, leaving behind a massive pile of unfinished business.

If the GOP were serious about the deficit, they would cancel vacation & extend tax relief to the 98% instead of holding out for top 2%.

GOP wants to run home - but they can't hide from their record of not creating jobs.

GOP-led House shouldn't take another break from doing nothing. We need to stay here and do the job we were elected to do.

Between Aug 3rd and Nov 14th, GOP-controlled House will have been in session just 8 days (and created 0 jobs).

wasting another day on msg bills instead of focusing on jobs & tax cuts for middle class or the sequester.

Overturning CVH v FEC = a win for dark money groups & a loss for the American ppl. Onus now rests on FEC to act.
