Also forgotten is the record of the Republicans who controlled the House, 2022-24. It has been a period of utter, sadly laughable dysfunction. It’s a misnomer to call the sitting House majority Republican; it is a MAGA uber-faction, in thrall to whatever Trump demands.  It’s peopled with characters who, a decade ago, would have been ridiculed as presumptuous clowns.  They spout conspiracy theories about space lasers and Jews; they brawl with each other and spend weeks fighting about their choice of Speaker; their dominating faction tried to stop the government from carrying out its functions; they were servants to Trump’s plan to steal the electoral college. 

This House has a historically dismal record of legislative achievement.
