IF Joe can keep these bastards in session NOW is the best move he could do in his final days!! Would be perfect for our chances in 2026.

Congress no longer officially recesses, even during vacations and other breaks.

They keep some staff and at least one rep around to hold a pro forma session and they havent officially gone into recess.

So the president cant call them back or issue recess appointments.

And then they'll whine to their mommy and daddy Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham that we're being big meanies to them. Fucking imbeciles. No one would vote GOP if Fox News didn't exist.
