January 17, 2024This Should be FunCongress Reconvenes Tuesday To Open Election-Year Session The 108th Congress reconvenes Tuesday for an election-year session that will likely see few legislative breakthroughs and more of the partisan acrimony that has stalled action on key issues. Election years are either a rush to pander, or a partisan trainwreck in hope of making the other side look bad. Or both. The Party's beahvior should be quite interesting, given that the Reps know that they are going into the elections with the edge in regards to retaining or even slightly expanding their majortity, and the Dems know it.

First up is that travesty they call a spending bill, I believe... Posted by: mark at January 17, 2024 10:09 PMI was seething in November (?) when the Democrats in the Senate were bemoaning the Republican talkfest to stop the Democratic filibusters on judicial nominees. It was a "waste of the Senate's time" said the Daschle crowd. SO WORK AN EXTRA DAY OR TWO, OK? They've been out on recess for like three months now and during the regular year, work about three days a week. Cry me a river. Post a comment
