• What Have They Done? Nothing.

    "In an exclusive, wide-ranging interview with CNN, two days before the
    midterm elections, McCarthy outlined his plans for power, which includes tackling inflation, rising crime and border security – three issues that
    have become central to Republicans’ closing pitch to voters."

    HawHawHaw! A lot of bullshit and absolutely no progress. That's it in a nutshell.

    "Kevin McCarthy's baseless impeachment inquiry into President Biden is
    about his own short-term gain and the American people's loss. He is
    giving in to the demands of the extreme MAGA right of his party in hopes
    that they will not force him out of the speaker's chair. But who pays
    the price of this time-wasting and absurd maneuver? The American people,
    as Republicans do absolutely nothing to show that they can govern and we
    now careen toward a Republican shutdown that will devastate and disrupt
    the lives and livelihoods of American families and our economy.

    McCarthy's impeachment ploy is the shiny new object that he hopes will
    distract you from this simple fact: House Republicans have been unable
    to pass their own MAGA agenda of cutting taxes for the wealthiest and
    enacting countrywide abortion bans. They cannot govern. Passing funding
    bills to keep government open is the most basic task of governing."

    Yep. And now they argue like school children and curse futilely at their
    own inability to actually do anything of substance.
