If measured by the number of bills signed into law, the 118th Congress was by far the most unproductive since at least the 1980s, according to data from public affairs firm Quorum.

Yes, but they got in a lot of zingers at Dems, Libs and Lefties in general. And don't forget those jokes about Elizabeth Warren! Sadly, a large portion of those who elected these do-nothings couldn't tell that little was done on their behalf...

The US is now governed by temporary executive orders, not laws. Lewzer ranted for years about Obama using executive orders because he didn't know how to make deals and then he signed 220 of them himself. He'll probably sign 220 more in January alone.

Fewest laws in decades? Considering who they are, it's hard to see this as a bad thing.

Considering the laws needed to get through a Democratic senate and a Democratic president you are right.

Good. IMO the fewer new laws the better.

The Democratic senate and a Democratic president thank you for your support.

In a few months Herpty Doo will be complaining that democrats won't compromise with them to help maga maroons destroy democracy and that's why they can't get anything done.

MAGA filth is so useless they couldn't even make the AR-15 the national gun.

@#10 ... that is great news! ...

Why?

Apparently you do not think that Pres Biden's 117th Congress Infrastructure Act is not a worthwhile piece of legislation?

Same question for Pres Biden's Chips and Science Act of the 117th Congress.

US Legislation | 2023-2024 | 118th Congress | Passed

Passed 41 bills naming things. Impressive. 6 more giving out Congre3ssional Gold Medals. Rittenhouse struck out again.

Passed 41 bills naming things.

With 40 more still on the President's desk so sign. They do like naming things.

@#13,14

Yeah. Spkr Johnson seems (seemed) to lack the ability to rally the MAGA in the House to actually do something worthwhile for the Country.

What does that say about Friday's vote for Speaker?

I've not a clue. But, that's likely a different thread.

Empty G even managed to get a bill passed in the House. Naming a post office in Georgia. All her other efforts have gone nowhere.
