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.

Well yeah, dem is sometimes good, we remember Blagojevich, amongst a few others. We can't deny that humans with power are tasked with a delicate balance of maintaining their power and not reaching for more, like an addict. At least agree with me, and likely the group, on this; power is the worst addiction known to man, worse than meth and crack combined.
