43. He's right, which is why Democrats need to get in there and do their jobs

Sat Oct 25, 2025, 07:34 PM

Saturday

since Republicans, led by Johnson, have bothered to work something like 2 days since July and have no intention of doing their jova deom noq on.

My guess is that when debate opens on things that are getting through 100% Democratic committees, a lot of Republicans are going to go back to work whether or not Johnson likes it.

We liare living in some truly bizarre times. It's time for some really bizarre counter measures.
