Last week, our nation marked six months since President Trump’s inauguration.
For the first time in a decade, the GOP had the White House, Congress and complete control of the legislative process to advance its agenda.

Washington, D.C. – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today, marking the seventh anniversary of President Barack Obama's signing of the landmark, Democratic-passed Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act:
"Seven years ago, Democrats enacted the strongest set of Wall Street and consumer financial protections in history: the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Dodd-Frank ushered in an era of financial stability, prevented future catastrophic meltdowns and taxpayer-funded bailouts and created tough, new rules to protect American consumers from predatory and abusive practices. So far, Dodd-Frank's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has returned $12 billion to 29 million Americans wronged by abusive and unscrupulous financial marketplace companies.

In less than two weeks, Congressional Republicans will leave for August recess without a single major legislative accomplishment. Trumpcare is rapidly collapsing under ferocious pressure from Americans across the country, and the House GOP budget – which is unlikely to pass the House – would ransack American investments in jobs and stack the deck even further against working families.
