How do you feel about this week’s congressional schedule (or lack thereof)?
What’s happening in Congress?
- The House returned to recess last Wednesday, August 25th, after a brief two-day work week as Democrats advanced their $3.5 trillion budget resolution to use reconciliation along with an election reform bill on party-lines. It rejoins the Senate, which began its recess on August 11th.
- Democratic leaders in both chambers have given no indication that lawmakers will be recalled to the Capitol prior to the currently scheduled return date for the House and Senate.

So far 1.75 million illegal aliens have crossed into this country since he has been in office. Estimated 750,000 have crossed and did not get caught. Close the border and build the wall until we get this epidemic under control.

Ridiculous they need to work for five days a week like average American!
Capitol riot defendants raise more than $2 million from crowdfunding So dumbkopf led them to the guillotine and emptied their pockets into his pac and now they are on their own! Serves them right! How stupid can you be?
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/wealthy-gop-donors-flock-desantis-presidential-speculation-swirls-n1278172 When home depot donates $250,000 to desantis after a historical debacle of epic proportions caused by dumbkopf also supported by home depot you know where NOT to get your lumber and nails! Every clown who provides any support to egregious lies that destroy our institutions is truly an enemy of America 2022 will indicate and 2024 will decide the fate of America
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Tuesday issued a veiled threat to companies that cooperate with the House select committee investigating the deadly January 6 riot at the US Capitol, warning that "a Republican majority will not forget." What are they afraid of ? You think only Afghanistan has a Taliban problem? This is the American version
1 term limit for all public officials!!!!!!!
Stop Their 💵💵💵 They are showing the US Citizens that We are Not Important (our Votes put them there 💥) to Them. Need to Stop Their Agendas against the USA and Us, the United States 🇺🇸 Citizens. my opinion only / I try not to voice my opinion When I’m Pissed 😡 Off at this puppet regime of self centered 🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
Now that this War is finally over, Congress needs to revoke the AUMF and all other temporary powers that allowed 4 presidents to keep us at War for this long. Congress needs to take back their power and stop letting us go through this every decade when the military convinces a president to wage war.
Look people, members of the House are extremely busy and cannot be expected to spend much time in DC. Many are deeply involved in ass kissing events while others like Matt and Marjorie for example, are busy with their touring sideshow, spewing forth misinformation and propaganda which pretty much keeps them on the road. Give em a break. This is how the GOP defines small government, and their voters seem to support it.
How do I feel about the schedule? The same..... more of nothing getting done.
David and Barbara, maybe you could get a twofer discount on some therapy for the issues with which you struggle. Seriously, you need some help as your comments are lacking in reasonable and rational thought.
The folks need to explain what they are doing. The rest of us aren’t on vacation. If they’re working, if their committees are meeting, if they’re working with citizens, then they need to let us know. There’s a lot of work to do before they start running for election next year.
Seriously???? WHAT are we paying for. If I didn’t show up for work I’d be fired. Hmmmmm. That’s a thought.
As far as i’m concerned they NEVER have to come back ever again.
TERM LIMITS!
Got an election next year and they've got donor's that need tending. After all, it IS all about the money. Representing the people is really just a front for their real job.
The Senate needs to get back to work. There are bills sitting there waiting for them that came from the House, most importantly the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. We also need Congress to do something to force state and local governments to stop evictions and help people stay in their homes, so we don't have an even larger homeless crisis in the next year. There's plenty of work for the Senate to do. We don't pay these people to campaign and go on cable news shows.
Pelosi must GO...
