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.

and this is why you people never learn.

Sorry I didn’t meet the echo chamber’s approval. As a progressive democrat, I wish “we” would actually learn.

didn't realize doing your job as an elected official required legal ramifications as motivation.

Now you know.

besides, democrats aren't required to agree (by anything enforceable), and if that's all republicans have to "convince" the democrats then how did they even gain majority control of the house and senate? unless....they cheated by gerrymandering....

I’m not 100% sure what point you’re making here. But I probably agree. Though I think when republicans win the popular vote for president, the gerrymandering probably isn’t the reason they won the house also.

Next year they definitely need to cheat to win.

    A "progressive" who gets to make up evidence that doesn't exist, apparently. You phony fucking "progressives" gave us Trump, you don't have the moral high ground.

    You're so fucking biased and stupid that you actually think it's justified to flat-out fucking lie like this.
