The House of Representatives should be America’s Town Hall – but the GOP used every tool at their disposal to shut down the free flow of ideas. We need to do better #ForThePeople.

Trump airlines? Shut down.
Trump casinos? Shut down.
Trump steaks? Shut down.
Trump university? Shut down.
Trump magazine? Shut down.
@realDonaldTrump kept his promise to run our government like he ran his companies: shut down, w/ unpaid workers & blaming everyone but himself.

It’s time for @SenateGOP and @realDonaldTrump to start acting like adults and stop holding the poorest Americans hostage for a stupid and offensive wall that MEXICO WAS SUPPOSED TO PAY FOR.

For way too long, the needs of the American people have taken a back seat to the needs of corporations that can dump unlimited amounts of money into politics. That’s why @RepTedDeutch, @RepRaskin, @RepJohnKatko & I are introducing a bipartisan amendment to say enough is enough!

Our rules package for the 116th Congress created a select committee to study ways to improve and modernize the operation of Congress. Chairman @RepMcGovern spoke about the importance of this truly bipartisan approach: pic.twitter.com/xTH7l8c9wH

Today is historic. A record number of women -- 102 in all -- will be sworn into the House of Reps. When I first came to Washington in 1997, there were less than 60 of us. For my colleagues and I, this growth is heartening but a long time coming. Let's keep up the momentum! pic.twitter.com/iJcQ7geuml

I am so pleased to see the most transparent and reform-focused House rules package of my lifetime come into effect. @RepMcGovern and all the members who worked to make it better have my thanks. I cannot wait until the committee on modernizing congress is established—tomorrow. :)

New Congress, new rules.
Tonight the House passed a series of ethics reforms including my resolution prohibiting Members from serving on corporate boards.
Thank you to House Leadership & Chairman @RepMcGovern for making this a priority. It's time we finally close this loophole. pic.twitter.com/9UhDXU2E7j

I'm not naive. I know that we cannot control the other branches of government. The Senate will work its will. And the president may still reach for his phone to tweet insults & name call.
But we can & should be the example of how Congress should operate. pic.twitter.com/vzi68r4wb1

As Chairman of @RulesDemocrats, I’m ready to do my part to institute a more accommodating process. One that gives all members of Congress a voice & brings us back to the days where big ideas were actually debated. pic.twitter.com/2jORvOM5XT
