I keep telling folks, but the 118th Congress, the current one, we have so far 46 bills that have made it to law. The only one that really made a big difference was Pub. L 118-5 which ended officially the student loan repayment pause and ended some enhanced benefits of food stamps, SNAP, free lunches, etc.
The other 45 bills have been mostly bumps to the debt ceiling (and of course the small “benefits” Republicans reaped in those), a 250th anniversary of the Marine Corp collection coin (because Congress has the power over the treasury, that’s one of the things they do), renaming post offices (Congress has power over the post in the Constitution), some bumps to VA funding, and that’s about it.
The small wins they got in avoiding the fiscal cliff aren’t exactly massive bangers. I mean compared to say the 117th Congress, the one before this one, that hammered out 362 laws with hits like the Inflation Reduction Act, the CHIPs act, and so forth. There’s just been nothing like any of that in this current Congress.
And the 116th Congress gave us 344 laws, navigated a pandemic, AND got two impeachments out the door.
The Republicans have shown, they’ve got nothing. We literally have on record them as doing nothing. This has been the least productive Congress in modern history. They have literally set a brand new record for number of times it took to get a speaker and for the least amount of work done EVER.

In other words, by the measure of anti-Americans who hate the Federal government, they’re the most successful Congress ever.
And they’ll still win because “woke bad” “GeNoCiDe JoE” and a healthy dose of “the vast majority of Democrats in office are conservative and we hate it.”
Trump isn’t in office for people to be mad enough to get him out. Apathy will run rampant this time, people are already sick to their stomachs of all things political lately.
I’m not looking forward to project 2025 being implemented… I’ve always despised organized religious zealots but it looks like they’re going to get to steer the ship going forward…
