++Well, the House passed the Keystone XL Pipeline. Just for your information, the President of the United States, even when he's black, is the sole authority on pipelines and bridges that cross international borders.
++The House tried but failed to block the Volker Rule which has already been delayed.
++The House passed "dynamic scoring" for tax cuts but not for discretionary spending.
++The House limited true ability of the Social Security Trust fund from bailing out Disability insurance, which is a Social Security program. This happens occasionally but the GOP want to use this to go after Social Security in general.
++The House is readying legislation on Homeland Security, which will try and reverse not only the executive orders on the five million but also internal regulations from 2010 about priorities in deportation. This will affect the Dream Act kids.
++Today the House amended the employers' mandate so that workers have to be 40-hour a week employees to get health insurance. The fake rationale is that it will lead to more 40 hour a week jobs. The reality is that 1 million Americans will lose their health insurance.
++The Rand Corporation released a report that showed that if the Supreme Court rules against the ACA and the subsidies 9.6 million will lose their health insurance . So the GOP's health program is to cut 10.6 million off health insurance. Terrific.
++Meanwhile when no one was looking the number of uninsured has dropped to 12.9%, the lowest in decades.
++The House is also trying to pass a 20-month abortion ban and a National Abortion Holiday.
++Notice that none of these actions had any hearings.
