6. Good Idea

Excellent idea. I'm going to shoot off emails to my Senators, Schumer and Gildebrand. As it is, Trump sucks up all the oxygen in the room. If he's not getting the country's full attention, he tweets off something outrageous to bring it back. We must draw attention to what's going on behind closed doors. As for the fear of withholding consent uniting the Republicans? They're already united on the need to gut the ACA in order to free up money for their tax cut. Oh, did I say tax cut? Sorry, a slip of the tongue. I meant tax reform. Of course.
