Six weeks ago, I was elected to Congress. I’m still waiting to be sworn in.
House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recess of the U.S. House of Representatives during a time of grave national crises is shockingly irresponsible. House Republicans have been on vacation for six weeks while our economy crumbles, federal workers go without paychecks, health care premiums skyrocket and funding for food stamps dwindles. This is negligent and cruel.
Honestly, after Republicans refused to vote for a SC nominee for nearly an entire year, this just feels insignificant.
Your argument appears to be that because they’ve done something in the past that you perceive to be worse, continuing misdeeds are no big deal. I don’t think you’ll find many people who will agree with that.
There’s not many people on here that are willing to hear “the other side isn’t behaving unreasonable in this one instance” about any issue.
I’m fairly progressive, but the amount of “⬆️:us ⬇️:them” on this site is pretty stupid.
I’m pretty sure that nominee couldn’t have cast the deciding vote to release the Epstein files.
