Lowest Point in US History

Bloomberg’s Deena Shanker reports that “Almost two-thirds say this is the lowest point in U.S. history—and it’s keeping a lot of them up at night.” According to an American Psychological Survey, 63% of respondents said they were stressed about the nation’s future, 62% were stressed about money, and 43% were stressed about healthcare.

Meanwhile Barbara Comstock supports administration initiatives when it counts and sits on her hands when it doesn’t.

Barbara Comstock Helps Kill Dream Act Compromise

In 1973, John Dean famously warned that the cover-up was a cancer on the presidency. Forty-five years later Donald Trump has created a presidency that is a cancer on the nation. Under this malignant administration, border enforcement officials are literally ripping babies out of their mothers’ arms, and sending babies and children to separate detention facilities tens and hundreds of miles away from their where there parents are being held.

Earlier this year, all 193 House Democrats joined 25 moderate Republicans to sign a discharge petition to force a vote on a bipartisan compromise on the immigration issue, including a vote on the Dream Act but Barbara Comstock was not among them. The petition fell just two signatures short of forcing the vote.

A Morning Consult/Politico survey found that 82% of respondents favored allowing dreamers to remain in the country, and only 11% said they should be “removed or deported.” Even among voters who identified as Republicans, 73% favored allowing the dreamers to remain.
