The current session of Congress is well on its way to going down in history as perhaps the single most ineffective two years in American history.

Trump, MAGA Freaks Prompt Worries About Key Ohio Senate Race
The 118th Congress seems destined to go down in history as one of the least productive two-year periods in decades…which leads to the obvious question of what this will mean in the 2024 election cycle.

BREAKING: Ken Buck to Resign from Congress and Drop Anvil on Lauren Boebert

In the 18 months since Roe was overturned — thus removing national protections for abortion […]
