Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, has said he’d like a vote on health care by Congress’s July 4 recess, but Senate Republicans have yet to release language

Senate Democrats plan to slow down work in the upper chamber in an effort aimed at drawing attention to Republicans’ secret negotiations to craft legislation to repeal and replace Obamacare. A senior aide told CBS News’ Steven Portnoy that Democrats will begin a series of parliamentary moves at 4 p.m. ET Monday in an effort to slow the Senate agenda.

Democrats intend to hold the floor until late into the evening Monday, making a series of speeches condemning the closed-door GOP talks. “Republicans are drafting this bill in secret because they’re ashamed of it, plain and simple,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, 현금 포커 D-New York, said through an aide, calling the actions tonight “merely the first steps we’re prepared to take in order to shine a light on this shameful Trumpcare bill.” “If Republicans won’t relent and debate their health care bill in the open for the American people to see, then they shouldn’t expect business as usual in the Senate,” Schumer added.

I was in Washington, D.C., watching the Pentagon burn from my hotel window, so it’s good to be here.” The shortlist, which was initially made up of over 240 albums, was whittled down to 12 in July, before the Chair of Judges Simon Frith and a selected panel of musicians and industry insiders picked their final winner on the night. “Let England Shake” was recorded in a Dorset church and features three...
