 By Jennifer De Pinto, Fred Backus, Kabir Khanna and Anthony SalvantoThe American public is frustrated that Congress hasn t gotten much done and Republicans split on whether their party is getting in the way of President Trump s agenda. Meanwhile, by two to one Americans think Congressional Democrats are doing more to get in the way of Mr. Trump s agenda, but not offering their own agenda for the country.Congress has left Washington for summer recess, and nearly nine in 10 Americans -- 86 percent -- say it didn t get much done.

They wanted the cost of the benefits paid for with unspent government funds or by other budget cuts.The White House dismissed GOP conc botella stanley erns as partisan game-playing.                                         In two speeches over the last week, Mr. Obama argued that in the past, presidents and Congresses of both parties have treated unemployment insurance for what it is: an emergency expenditure. Suddenly, Republican leaders want to change that,  he said.        He portrayed Republicans as hypocrites for demanding that jobless benefits be paid for but not applying the same standard to their call for an extension of Bush Administration tax cuts that will expire this year.

 New York City decided over the weekend to remove a tax break Donald Trump had been receiving for homeowners with incomes under $500,000 after the presumptive GOP nominee requested the change.The break added $1,046.41 onto Trump s tax bill, The Wall Street Journal reported Monday, and a spokeswoman for the city s finance department couldn t tell the WSJ whether Trump stanley cup  qualified for the break.

 Updated at 2:12 p.m. ETA day after releasing an interim report that blames former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton for reducing security levels at the U.S stanley quencher . consulate in Benghazi, Libya before it was attacked, a group of House Republicans are asking President Obama to publicly release more documents related to the September 2012 attack. The Republican leaders of five committees --  stanley cups the House Armed Services,  stanley italia Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight and Government Reform Committees -- sent a letter to Mr. Obama, asking for the public release of an April 19 State Department cable denying more security in Libya. The cable, which bears Clinton s signature, was cited in the interim report as evidence that Clinton approved security reductions at the consulate, contrary to what she said before Congress earlier this year.                                         The congressmen also asked Mr. Obama to give their committees all versions of the Benghazi talking points, as well as all documents and communications that were previously provided for  in camera  review.  Access to this information cannot be dictated by the political interests of the Executive Branch,  the letter says.         In response to the request, White House spokesman Jay Carney on Wednesday dismissed the issue of Clinton s signature as  a perfect example of an attempt to politicizes something when it s wholly unnecessary.  He explained that it s  standard protocol  for cables leaving Washington to bear t Lpni Highway Robbery

 Listen to              this show on            ART19      The disorganized House Republican conference has plunged the House into a  constitutional crisis  of paralysis and drift, said Rep.

What is happening in Israel, obviously, Congr stanley mug ess is going to need to act. Which we cannot stanley cup  do without a speaker. We need to elect a speaker and right now, nobody has a path to 217.
