Six weeks ago, I was elected to Congress. I’m still waiting to be sworn in.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s recess of the U.S. House of Representatives during a time of grave national crises is shockingly irresponsible. House Republicans have been on vacation for six weeks while our economy crumbles, federal workers go without paychecks, health care premiums skyrocket and funding for food stamps dwindles. This is negligent and cruel.

    Their job is to break all functions of government that don’t directly support rich people. It makes more sense when you think of it as rich vs poor as opposed to left vs right.
