Democrats govern.
The MAGA GOP does NOTHING.
#VOTE #Elections2024
During the 2020-2022 period when Democrats controlled the House, they achieved several significant accomplishments:
Infrastructure Spending: President Biden and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell made a rare joint appearance to highlight nearly $1tn in infrastructure spending that lawmakers approved on a bipartisan basis in 2021.
Violence Against Women Act: The reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act was included in a bold and robust government funding package.
American Rescue Plan Act: This $1.9tn economic stimulus plan was designed to combat the coronavirus pandemic and begin repairing the nation’s social safety net1. It sent $1,400 stimulus checks to tens of millions of Americans, temporarily extended unemployment benefits, and included billions in funding to speed up vaccination distribution and school reopenings.
Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Bill: After a century of waiting, the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching bill was passed.
Supreme Court Justice Confirmation: The historic confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Federal Judges of diverse backgrounds.
Gun Violence Reduction Legislation: The first meaningful gun violence reduction legislation in 30 years was advanced.
Marriage Protection: Protection was provided for LGBTQI+ and interracial couples.
Inflation Reduction Act: This act lowers costs for families, combats the climate crisis, reduces the deficit, and finally makes the largest corporations pay their fair share.
These are just a few of the many accomplishments during this period. For a comprehensive understanding, it’s best to consult with a political expert or conduct further research.

Getting rid of Speaker McCarthy has officially turned into an unmitigated disaster.
All work on separate spending bills has ceased.
Spending reductions have been traded for spending increases.
Warrantless spying has been temporarily extended.
Our majority has shrunk.
