American voters disapprove 78 - 15 percent of
the job Republicans in Congress are doing, worse than their 70 - 25 percent
disapproval in a June 29 Quinnipiac University poll. Even Republican voters
disapprove 61 - 32 percent. Voters disapprove 63 - 29 percent of the job
Democrats in Congress are doing, virtually unchanged from June.

Speaker of the House
SPEAKER PAUL RYAN is going to Puerto Rico Friday. [Playbook Power Briefing, October 10, 2017]
House Speaker Paul Ryan pretended
to address the Las Vegas massacre. He trotted out the GOP's usual
crutch, mental health reform,which is
really rich, given that his ill-fated House health care plan would have killed Obamacare's Medicaid expansion and capped funding for regular Medicaid -- the single largest
source of funding for mental health treatment in the US. Remarkably, he did it
with a straight face. He also tried to ignore a question about why Republicans
made it easier back in February for some mentally ill people to get a gun, saying only that their rights were being infringed [Fast

| MITCH MCCONNELL |
Majority Leader of the Senate
Asked
if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is open to combining an
ObamaCare stabilization bill and CHIP, McConnell spokesman Don Stewart noted
that there is no stabilization bill yet, so it is hard to answer a
"hypothetical" question. [Overnight

When you make a promise
to someone, you keep it. It’s that simple.
Our country promised Dreamers that we would not take their bright
futures away from them. But Donald Trump has gone back on
our promise and is threatening to kick out these young immigrants who know no
other home but the United States. It’s heartless and cruel, and I’m fighting to
ensure these young people can stay in the country they love. If Trump kicks out these 800,000 young
people, it will not only tear their families and our communities apart, but it
will damage our local economies. Dreamers are business owners, students,
activists, and entrepreneurs. Our country has invested in these young
people; why would we make them leave now?
Dreamers are American in their heart and soul, just not in their
paperwork. It’s absolutely wrong for
Trump to rip them from their families and deport them to countries they may
have never known. [Jeff Merkley for Senate, Oregon]
