14. The House being under Republican control sucks.

Sat Feb 28, 2026, 03:52 PM

And the way the Republicans continue to shield the Orange Hellbeast is reprehensible and GREATLY limits what Dems are able to do. Unless and until at at least a few more Repub reps manage to find their spines, this situation will continue until after the midterms (when Dems will hopefully take back control).

In the meantime, I feel that every effort, including "holding endless hearings" is worthwhile if for no other reason than that such hearings draw attention to the situation and serve as a reminder to the Repubs that they are shamefully shirking their duty.

I am very grateful to Khanna and Massie for continuing to fight for what is right. They are like points of light in a very dark sky right now.
