"The House has, quite literally, ground to a halt. The chamber has not voted since Sept. 19 and Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to call members back, preventing them from doing any legislative work. He has refused to seat a new duly elected Democratic member from Arizona one month after her victory, though he encouraged her to return home and work for constituents she does not yet officially represent because he won’t administer her the oath of office.

As the Trump administration shifts billions of dollars around to take care of its priorities during the shutdown with scant input from lawmakers, ignoring Congress’s clear constitutional supremacy over the power of the purse, Republicans in control have done nothing to push back."

Thanks Burchett, Blackburn, Hagerty, etc. for "flailing and failing". The Democrats wants to protect healthcare for those less fortunate. Republicans want to forgive felons, spend $300+ million on a glass house for their master, $200 million in Argentina while ruining soybean farmers and cattle ranchers economies. Now, the current administration's FBI is bragging about an NBA gambling bust while continuing to deny the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2020, having already pardoned the insurrectionists. Heckuva job Tim, Marsha, Bill, etc.
