House went out of session on Thursday (1/23) & they went ape shit. We could only be called back in by speaker johnson and even when we go back in on Tuesday, I’m doubtful that the Republican controlled house has any plans of doing anything productive… more like they will focus on being destructive. I am interested in at least having shadow hearings to bring out the truth, but he’s literally gutting all checks and balances that exists in government. As the court cases ensue, it’s my sincere hope that at least they begin to shut the lunacy down.
