119th Congress or Red Wave In Adult Land

It’s honestly shocking to me that we haven’t managed to pass some form of common sense legislation to combat this given the overwhelming public interest and popularity of such measures. I get that asking Congress to not enrich themselves is a heavy lift, but you’d think at some point the public would just demand it.

We do. They just don’t care

Problem is they're the ones who have to pass that legislation

Seriously, we can’t just let members of Congress of either party get away with pretending they simply don’t know anything about what the government is doing when doing media appearances. When they start deflecting from unpopular actions by claiming ignorance, reporters should stop the interview and explain what they’re asking them to comment on, then ask again once you’ve educated them on the details. The reason Schmitt knows nothing about any of this is because he knows he can’t defend it. It’s been Mike Johnson’s go-to for months now, and it’s pathetic.

All of this. And do these people not realize how pathetic they look doing their lousy Trump impressions?
