As BARACK OBAMA said in 2013: Members of Congress “don’t get to hold our democracy or our economy hostage over a settled law. That’s not how our democracy is supposed to work.” That’s EXACTLY what DEMOCRATS are doing — holding the government hostage to FORCE backroom deals. REPUBLICANS won’t allow it. We’re on duty here and can return quickly to legislative session and an OPEN and TRANSPARENT process, as soon as Senate Democrats vote to open the government again. | Speaker Mike Johnson
