First item of business for the new House, pass a hike in the minimum wage

Sends a positive, forward message to the voters that the Dems are trying to help everyone. Next, improve the ACA. If the Senate does not pick it up or Trump vetoes it, then so be it. They will become political issues for 2020.

Put the pressure on the Senate. No action in the Senate is a no vote. And sets us up to tell that story in 2020.

We really have to be disciplined. Everything that gets passed gets passed to tell the 2020 story.

And I would say no impeachment unless Mueller's report is smoking hot. Let it be a 2020 issue.

These are the things that the House should address:

Min wage
Improve ACCA
National Infrastructure Improvements
Repeal/replace 45's Tax Bill--focus tax cut on middle class
Marriage Equality Bill
Reproductive Rights Bill
