I haven't had a single member of the House Democratic Caucus talk to me about impeachment. We've been relentlessly focused on affordability and on accountability because the House is a separate and co -equal branch of government. We recognize that we don't work for Donald Trump, we don't work for J .D. Vance, we don't work for the Supreme Court, we work for the American people. And the days of the House of Representatives functioning like a wholly -owned subsidiary of the Trump administration are over.
