Are Washington’s Democrats — or more precisely, the Democrats in the House of Representatives — completely bat-guano insane? After a catastrophically bad month for the man in the Oval Office, the leader of their party, they desperately need to right the ship and show Americans they can get things done.

They have their own wish lists. Punchbowl notes that “Bernie Sanders… and his Senate colleagues —with backing from Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — want to add dental, vision and hearing coverage to Medicare, a hugely expensive proposition.
