  4. The US Senate has become the most useless institution ever. When was the last time they did anything for the American people?

  5. Would now be a good time to discuss Democrats poor chances at gaining either chamber back at midterms?

    What can we do to improve them?

  7. The season premiere of Mike Johnson’s Protecting Pedophiles has arrived!

  9. Not much discussion

    Edit: I swear I posted this is in the Trump announcement thread not the house session thread

  10. You’d have thought it would have started on the stroke of 2?

  13. I know he’s always late, but you’d think with the health rumors they’d be punctual just this once lol

  14. What if we see a JD(“Just Dance”) Vance first thing? *jump scare*

  15. So Trump claims Canada has called him and told him they want to be part of the Golden Dome.

  17. Trump’s tangents are really something fucking else, aren’t they?

  18. https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/09/02/congress/epstein-discharge-petition-filed-00540016

    >GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition Tuesday afternoon to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.

    >Massie filed the petition, which could allow the House to sidestep GOP leaders’ efforts to quash his bipartisan effort, shortly after Speaker Mike Johnson gaveled the chamber into session. Working with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), the Kentucky Republican now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.

  19. Can anyone find old videos of the side of the white house that the garbage bag video is filmed from that shows the windows being open? Is it something that doesn’t ever happen or maybe it’s something just never really given attention.
