WASHINGTON — House Democrats have been in control of the House of Representatives for five months now, and they don’t have much to show for it.

That message is the thrust of a Tom Steyer-backed TV ad that’s airing in Iowa and New Hampshire, as well as on national cable.

“You told us to wait for the Mueller investigation. And when he showed obstruction of justice … nothing happened,” the ad goes.

“When this president took money from foreign governments and blocked the release of his tax returns ... nothing happened.”

“Now you tell us to wait for the next election? Really??”

The lack of deliverables for House Democrats goes beyond oversight and the Mueller report.

HR1 – the campaign-finance and ethics bill that they passed in March? Not going anywhere in the Senate.

President Trump’s immigration rollout from yesterday? It almost pretended Dems don’t control the House.

And Attorney General William Barr’s joke to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday? "Madam Speaker, did you bring your handcuffs?"
