    That's because this House doesn't represent the people. It represents the politicans that were allowed to choose their own voters. If it were truly representative of the people, a lot would have gotten done, because these clowns wouldn't have control.

    Stop middle and low income families and give corporations, billionaires and themselves permanent tax cuts.
    That is how it is managed by GOP.

    Republicans are a bunch of cronies. It is sad to see some of our citizens still cling to these fake, spineless money and power gobblers. America will perish for lack of knowledge.

    Should we the people ask for our money back? Maybe lower their pay to a $1.00 a day?

    This is propaganda and disinformation. The Democrats refuse to negotiate on bills they claim to be concerned about.!

    This is getting scary like the working from Lincoln’s statements, together we grow but divided we fall. This again shows the sell out (R) are just in office to destroy American democracy.

    Everybody better pay close attention to who you vote for in 2025. I want to go back to when our representatives in Congress did their job and didnt waste time airing out their dirty laundry for the world to see.😢

    I'm not sure I'd agree that they "did nothing". They illustrated quite definitively that the MAGA crowd just can't do anything but make outraged speeches on social media. Indeed they seem to believe that's their entire job – to make inflammatory, insulting, misleading, outraged speeches for social media.

    Mike, did you ever apologize for the role you played in reporting on the Charles Stuart murder of his pregnant wife? Just wondering if you have any remorse for trying to dehumanized the wrongly convicted willie Bennett.

    It is a fact that the current body of Congress has been the most useless body of Congress in the entire history of the United States of America.

    Propose a trillion dollar tax cut for the ultra rich. Republicans will pass it. They've already done it. MAGA wanna go from poor to dirt poor. Make America great again?

    Term limits will fix all of this. Problem is both parties need to vote for that and they don't want to ruin their good thing.

    Have you noticed that those that call liberals emotional are the ones with emotional issues? These whiny pusillanimous people are unbelievable, to say the least.

    i'm just like, the base of the Republican Party is rabid and this country was intended by the framers to require broad consensus for congress or political powers to achieve anything due to the checks and balances of the system but has birthed a political movement in this country that is an insurgent outlier that is utterly contemptuous of compromise, mann and orstein's analysis in it's even worse than it looks is apt and on the money, anyone naive enough to be frustrated congress cannot put aside it's differences and work together ought to know the blame for that lies entirely and exclusively on the republicans whom are admittedly stuck between a rock and a hard place as their rabid base feels compromising with the democrats is tantamount to treason. I realize Scarborough is a former republican, but I mean the kind of republican he is, is now politically homeless as the Republican party he represents no longer even exist to be dead in the first place.
