Houston - we have a trend!

Do you get the feeling the US Congress is full of a bunch of do nothing, lay about, shiftless slackers? Apparently it might be true!

The 119th US Congress enacted 121 laws since it convened in January 2025 - the 2nd fewest of any Congress in the past four decades. Only the 118th Congress (the previous one) had enacted fewer laws (106) by this point in its two-year term. https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2026/10/15/so-far-the-119th-congress-is-among-the-least-productive-of-the-past-40-years/ #Government #USCongress #USGov #Congress #Laws #Washington #Productivity #Slackers #Lazy #PewResearch #Regulation

Hugo Lowell questions if Republicans can hold the House this November as White House aides reportedly deprioritize competitive districts to focus on the Senate. This internal shift reflects growing concerns over vulnerable seats and broader electoral challenges for the party in power. It offers a window into how political calculations are evolving, suggesting potential gains for progressive agendas if the balance tips. Readers should review the piece for deeper context on these developments. https://www.wired.com/story/trump-aides-admit-the-house-is-a-lost-cause/ #Politics #Midterms #USCongress Special praise goes to Hugo Lowell for this reporting.
