Is there a list of Bills Roy has sponsored and how they turned out?

Nothing but pander-bear bloviating.

What are the things Roy would like House Republicans to have accomplished?

List the meaningful and substantive things the House of Representatives can accomplish on its own.

Note that “meaningful and substantive” does not include political theater like made-for-tv committee hearings or impeachments with zero chance of removal.

I’m not necessarily out of hand saying you’re wrong, because “anything” as referenced in the post to which you replied is subject to widely ranging interpretation, but I would be curious as to what you’re referring. In other words, what types of consequential actions and results can the House take without the cooperation from the Senate and President?

So you are saying that the House serves zero purpose for Republicans when they are in control of it?

Yet strangely Dems seem to have little problems using it to their advantage to get things done whether they control it by name or not

Legislation LINK ]sponsored by Rep Roy.
Legislation LINK ]co-sponsored by Rep. Roy.

Each bill is accompanied by a tracker that indicates its result (e.g., Introduced, Passed House, Passed Senate, To President, Became Law).

The House of Representatives is responsible for all bills for raising revenue

That is taxes ... as defined. First is to pass a bill fixing the tax structure and amounts

Second, the can pass single subject spending. Be proactive and not wait for the clock to get to midnight.

Third is to remove funding for the fbi and doj in an appropriate way.

Fourth is to actually follow through on crimes by the president and other house members. It is my opinion that an impeachment of biden, while it may not be successful in the senate, forces every network to cover it. So the dullards watching cnn and msnbc will learn about the computer, the money funneling and more. It is not about a complete victory but make them vote and let the constituents see

There is more but this is the start. To sit back and say .. we can't do anything because ... muh senate is cowardly and dereliction

But what of the necessity of the bill passing in the House, but then must move along to the Senate for passage there as well? Then of course the President ultimately having to sign the final version into law? In other words, say you have a Republican majority House composed almost entirely of America First and assertively Conservative men and women who produce a bill in connection with a rather hot button issue and the bill from the House has an unabashed Conservative tilt that receives “far right” label from the turds in media. Senate happens to be slim majority Democrat at this particular point in time, we’ll just say just as it is right now. Thus an unlikelihood that the Senate will pass the bill that came out of the House. Is that not the end of the House passed bill right then and there? As it stands at that moment anyway.

The majority of all the Dems and Repubs are as useful as tits on a boar. Meanwhile Jihaddis pouring in the Southern border, soaring National Debt, sending Billions of OUR MONEY to foreign nations, crumbling infrastructure, corrupt "DOJ", etc. It's like being on a plane and peaking into the cockpit, and they're a bunch of toddlers flying the plane.

They've turned their legislative duties over to the alphabet agencies within the Executive Branch. The Number One priority of the folks in the Legislative Branch is raising money to get reelected.

At least being the majority meant that not everything the Dems wanted got passed. There's that.

I think it's meaningful to have votes on single issues - that way it's in the record and reps can go back home and defend their votes to voters.

This crap about not being able to get bills through the Senate doesn't make the votes meaningless.

I hope Chip Roy is sincere. Think about the squandered opportunities the Establishment Republicans have allowed to slip through their greedy hands.

No. I’m asking you to list the things you think the House should or could have done with a tiny minority and no control of any other lever of the federal government.
