"March's jobs report should serve as a stern warning to President Trump: tweeting is not a strategy to create jobs for hard-working American families.  It's almost 80 days into the Trump Administration, and the President and the GOP Congress haven't lifted a finger to create good-paying jobs in our country.

"Instead of creating jobs for the American people, the President and the Republican Congress have spent the entire year trying to raise health costs on seniors and working families.  At every opportunity, Republicans have moved to stack the deck for the powerful and against hard working Americans.

"This week's unspeakable chemical weapons attack is only the latest in a long series of horrors perpetrated by Bashar al-Assad on innocent men, women and children. Over the past few years, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and millions driven from their homes. President Assad's brutality places him outside the circle of civilized human behavior.  Meanwhile, Russia props up the Assad regime and enables these brutal war crimes to continue.

"Chairman Nunes recusing himself from the House investigation into the Trump-Russia connection is long overdue.  The Chairman was compromised from day one, and he had no business leading the investigation into the Trump-Russia connection.

"The White House made a fool of Chairman Nunes, and he has deeply tarnished his credibility as Chairman and the credibility of his Republican colleagues.  Instead of serving as a pawn of a White House desperate to change the subject, the House Intelligence investigation must get on track.
