The House left town on Wednesday already


House Republicans reject the DHS funding deal passed by the Senate last night and senators have all gone home and are in recess for the next two weeks.

The dysfunctional Republican Congress.

So at least two more weeks of travel chaos.

I guess there were not enough tax cuts for their billionaire buddies in the bill .

it was on the republicans!



Has anyone noticed on MS Now that NOBODY has said a negative word about Netanyahu anymore? Media management obviously put a stop to any blame of Netanyahu, or Israeli aggression toward the whole region?

Because of the Easter recess, it probably wouldn't be voted on until they come back anyway.

We will be truly fucked when that happens. I can’t imagine the fiasco when they start running the security checkpoints. Only white male passengers will get thru security. Everyone else will spend hours be hassled by them.

The House is still officially in session. They are off subject to the call of the chair.

Time to call every House Republican and yell at them to do their job.

How about do your jobs first, then take a break?

147 of whom were co-Insurrectionists, least we forget, have abdicated all powers, duties, and function save ONE: to give Trump power to do WHATEVER he wants to do . Some off them have said so out loud.
