"The sheer heartlessness astounded even some among the Republican Party. Senator Marco Rubio, whose state of Florida is ground zero for the Zika virus, gave a strongly worded condemnation of his colleagues’ actions on Capitol Hill. The rest of the country merely braced for what is going to be a very scary summer. But while Republicans once again proved they have absolutely no interest in fulfilling even basic levels of governance, they were busy wasting everyone’s time on something else. Given the stakes of the spending bill they didn’t pass, what they did do is especially offensive. Just as the House was derailing the Zika funding (and an energy and water bill for that matter), they were drafting up a petition to demand the Library of Congress go back to using the degrading term “Illegal Alien” to refer to undocumented immigrants. That’s how they spent their work week."
