Democrats boycott vote on Trump's nominees for Treasury, HHS
 In an unusual and hastily called briefing for reporters, Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee said they would not attend the panel’s planned votes until they could ask more questions about Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., the Health nominee and Steve Mnuchin, Trump’s Treasury selection, who they said had misled Congress about their backgrounds.Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., said the men would hold positions "that directly affect peoples’ lives every day. The truth matters."... Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, accused Democrats of "a lack of desire to fulfill their constitutional responsibilities." "They ought to stop posturing and acting like idiots," he said. All they have left is posturing and being idiots. Their carefully structured power structures and graft machines are threatened and they will do anything, and I mean anything to keep them intact. Trump threatens all of that.
