House Flees: Historical, Hysterical, and the Worst Congress Ever

The Republican-led House of Representatives concluded a tumultuous and unproductive legislative year marked by internal divisions and a lack of action on pressing issues. The House failed to pass an emergency spending measure for Ukraine, highlighting the disarray within the party. The year was characterized by infighting, a small majority, and a leadership vacuum after the ousting of the speaker. The House managed to avert a federal default and government shutdown but relied on Democrats for support. The year ended with bipartisan approval of a Pentagon policy measure, but the little progress made was credited to House Democrats. The future remains uncertain, with continued internal strife and a battle for House control looming.
