House GQP Gets Ready For Appliance Week

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) continues to adamantly refuse to take up any legislation renewing defense funding for Ukraine as the Russian military runs roughshod over its people. Instead, he's going to hold a vote next week to stop refrigerators from using less electricity. According to congressional reporter Jamie Dupree, House Republicans have scheduled votes on a series of protest bills to roll back newly-proposed energy standards for various home appliances, including: the Hands Off Our Home Appliances Act, the Liberty in Laundry Act, the Clothes Dryers Reliability Act, the Refrigerator Freedom Act, the Affordable Air Conditioning Act, and the Stop Unaffordable Dishwasher Standards (SUDS) Act.

I see the Putinistas in the house have their priorities in order.

Seriously, are these measures things that anyone, even republican voters, cares about? Can anyone name a single thing that the GOP majority has accomplished that makes you say they've earned your vote this year?

This is more culture war crap.

Meanwhile, Republicans constantly belly-ache about energy prices.
