I highly recommend all of you find the video or a transcript of Sen. Mark Warner (D) Virginia's opening statement for the Comey testimony this morning. He laid it all out and went step by step in a timeline of events. If you want a nice synapsis of what is going on with Trump, Kushner, Comey, the White House, Russia, and Trump's cronies - this is a GREAT thing to read/watch.

Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat Compromised?

Senate Intelligence Committee Democrat Compromised?

In a Fox News Exclusive, it was reported that Democrat Senator Mark Warner had extensive contact with a lobbyist who worked on behalf of a Russian in order to get close to Christopher Steele, the creator of the discredited Trump Dossier. Senator Warner is the Minority Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. He wanted “no paper trail” of his collusion, and deliberately kept it from his…

Warner, Portman Introduce Legislation to Address NPS Service Maintenance Backlog

~ NPS has a $12 billion backlog in deferred and overdue maintenance – half is critical transportation infrastructure ~

WASHINGTON—Today, U.S. Sens. Mark R. Warner (D-VA) and Rob Portman (R-OH) introduced the National Park Service Legacy Act, bipartisan legislation which would address the $12 billion maintenance backlog at the National Park Service (NPS).

Due to years of chronic underfunding, NPS has deferred maintenance for a year or more on visitor centers, rest stops, trails and campgrounds, as well as transportation infrastructure operated by NPS such as the George Washington Memorial Parkway and Arlington Memorial Bridge. NPS maintains more than 75,000 assets across the country, including campgrounds, natural lands, historic trails, irrigation and electrical systems, as well as thousands of miles of roads. Of these, 41,000 – or more than half – are in need of repairs.

Over the past decade, Congressional financial support for park maintenance has decreased by 40 percent, and the last time Congress directly addressed the infrastructure needs of the park system was in 1956. The Warner-Portman National Park Service Legacy Act establishes a National Park Service Legacy Restoration Fund to reduce the maintenance backlog by allocating $500 million annually from existing revenues the government receives for oil and natural gas royalties, every year, until 2047.

Statement of U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner

On the release of the Congressional Budget Office report on Trumpcare

U.S. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), a member of the Senate Budget and Finance Committees, issued the below statement following the release of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimate on the Republican health care plan, which found that it would leave 24 million more people uninsured by 2026 than under current law and increase out-of-pocket healthcare costs:

“Today’s estimates from the Congressional budget Office show that Trumpcare will raise costs for consumers, particularly seniors, and leave millions of Americans without coverage. This irresponsible approach shifts costs to states by radically restructuring and cutting Medicaid - a critical safety net that insures more than 600,000 children in Virginia, as well as thousands of elderly and disabled Virginians who depend on the program for services and long-term care - in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest Americans.

“Republicans and Democrats alike should be deeply disturbed by ongoing attacks on the impartial budget experts at the CBO. For decades, Congress has agreed that having the CBO as our referee is the best way to ensure that estimates like today’s come from unbiased experts, not from people pushing their own political agendas. Shooting the messenger can’t hide the fact that millions of Americans will be worse off under Trumpcare.”
