They all keep quitting! It’s wild to watch one quit every few weeks. And then the two out for sickness…

Plus, not in the House but Grassley being out sick further drives the appearance of a sinking Republican Party.

Weren’t they all on fire to fix things or something? What happened?

And the special election for Santos' seat is Feb 13, which will likely take it to 219-214.

They haven't done anything and are about to take the next 3 weeks off, after having also taken most of September and October off as well.

Hard at work on the taxpayer dime.

+1 This Congress has only passed 22 bills total. Including the ones that just rename things. Least productive Congress since the last one during Hoover’s administration after which all the Republicans got rode out of town on a rail.

JD Vance is calling for Republicans to pass "pro-family" legislation since he's seeing the writing on the wall with Roe and the woman from Texas. I'm waiting for I'm a Christian Mike to bring pro-family legislation to the floor. 🤣
