Yeah, and they just had a month off. They’ve been back like 2 weeks.

There only so much that the Senate can do without the House. This is dereliction of duty, and Mike Johnson needs to suffer some consequences. Discharge petition, maybe? The House should absolutely not be in recess right now. If anything, this should be the nail in the coffin for their majority.

Dems can just air ads saying “House Republicans decided to take two months off right before this election? Why? Because they care more about campaigning for the job than actually doing the work that the job requires. Costs are up, debt is up, the illegal war is a failure, and people are getting sick; instead of working to find solutions, they’re running home scared.”

Republicans either think that they just need to hide and run out the clock to win a rigged election, or they’re spending two months campaigning their asses off to try to win elections they have no business winning, given the state of things. Either way, it’s disqualifying to subvert democracy in this way.
