House Speaker Paul Ryan spells out what’s on the table for the highest bidders:

House Speaker Paul Ryan warned that Democratic gains in November’s congressional elections could make it impossible to get anything accomplished and expose President Donald Trump’s administration to more aggressive oversight.
