What have Democrats accomplished by holding "several" hearings?
Yes, Speaker Pelosi has written over 100 Bills, I agree, can you name your top 3 bills that have become law?
As far as money bills, you are putting words in my mouth. The House is supposed to control the purse strings, that border bill was supposed to originate in the House and then move on to the Senate for approval. I understand that it obviously doesn't always work that way seeing as Republicans wrote and passed the border budget bill on their own in the Senate first and then the House, according to Pelosi, had its hands tied and had no other choice but to pass the Republican bill. Except the House had another choice, it could have fought against the Republican bill by offering amendments that would have prioritized where the border money was to be spent. I know, Republicans would have jumped all over Democrats for being against border funding. Governing is tough, Democrats are 25% into their term and you haven't been able to decide what their top accomplishment has been.
Trump and Barr both have committed high crimes and misdemeanors, the House needs to hold impeachment hearings.
