End the Filibuster – Or Stop Pretending To Govern

So what has Congress done for you lately?

Big Beautiful Bill? Sure. I’ll give you that one. And it covered a huge amount of ground, from tax cuts to border spending, but that was eight months ago.

Since then, nothing. Zero. Zilch. Squat.

Oh sure, the Republicans have held only a five-vote majority in the House for most of the past year, but if you blame that skinny GOP margin for the lack of legislation, you are doing a disservice to Speaker Mike Johnson, who has managed to win votes with one of the narrowest majorities in modern times.

So no, it isn’t the House that’s the problem. Look at the recent vote on the SAVE America Act as an example. It passed in the House of Representatives on Feb. 11 with a vote of 218-213, with all Republicans present voting in favor along with one solitary Democrat.
