Nothing will be crammed down if it wasn't obvious before. The Senate leadership is more concerned with keeping their leadership positions than advancing anything this term.

Hope this fricker doesn’t get minority leader. He’s completely tanked government for the past 2 years.

It seems like these people only show up to pick up their Israel check then they leave again

R's don't have a real shot at taking back the congress for at least eight years.

..and they don't care.

They are clearly not interested in doing anything. Johnson has been bad, Thune has been a disaster though.

Screw Thune. He is the PROBLEM! May the Lord have no mercy on his or the Turtle's souls.

They will have a shot in 6 years; when some of those lost seats have a chance to go back to Rs: Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, Mississippi, Kansas, Ohio and Iowa.

They cannot flip enough Senate seats during the next 4 years to get to 50/50.

I suspect that if they worked on half of those 700 bills sitting on his desk in the first 3 quarters of the year, there would not be as much of a concern about January

Exact reason why nothing really changes for the next two years. The thing to watch out for is 2028 Congressional/Presidential elections. This country cannot afford for D's to have all three.

The R's have done nothing outside of the BBB to support Trump. Everything else has been EO... So what changes now?

Thune and Johnson are cowards.

All six of these GOP Senators need to be replaced in 2028. There isn't one on here that should be reelected.

They get paid the same only there are no expectations from them other than making loud noises. Its the perfect job for pretend Republicans.
