The Democratic-controlled Congress managed to pass several bipartisan bills, including a major infrastructure package, and muscled through legislation on health care and climate change.

.” And on Friday, shortly before the House passed a short-term spending bill to keep the government operating, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told reporters, “We look back on this session with great pride” as Democrats managed to deliver on several of Biden’s agenda items but not all.

The flurry of legislation passed by the House, where the Democrats’ advantage has been a handful of votes, and the Senate, at 50-50 with Vice President Harris often the tiebreaking vote, comes after the relative legislative inactivity of the divided 116th Congress, which met from January 2019 to January 2021 — the final two years of Donald Trump’s term in the White House.

In her final weekly news conference in Washington before the midterms, as lawmakers headed for the exits, Pelosi sought to contrast the legislation that Democrats were able to pass and get signed by Biden to what Republican congressional leaders have said they will do if they win majority control in November.

“Destructive”. There, fixed it for you.

The DNC's dawggie aka the 4th estate, continued in their blind loyalty to the policies of dividing Americans wherever possible - a big thank you to: NYT, LAT, WAPO, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, USAToday, Yahoo, PBS, NPR, Guardian and the ACLU...all elitists all female empowered...

Yes, they did tremendous harm. This is why the Presidency is a must and Joe offers a great chance to give GOP back power…

Keep spinning WaPo, keep spinning. At least no liberal will say you didn’t try.

Oh, so the Washington Post tweets out that the Democrats have proven to be productive, and were all supposed to bow down and believe it. Well we have eyes WAPO, and I can say with certainty. That you are lying sacks of 💩!

Republicans hate America!

Lawrence All those Rs bellowing about bills passed solely by Dems, are taking credit for the benefits Dems are bringing their R constituents. 'Unfurl' those solar billboards in every community, in every state; show truth and facts re who voted for and who voted against passage.

I have never seen the words 'Congress' and 'productive' in the same sentence.

They've certainly lined their pockets while us, the middle class are paying almost 20% for literally everything. So thanks.

In the last year, congress being productive equates to negative impacts on our economy.

You will consume our bias, gossipy, obsequious, bigoted, both-sides, horse race, prize at the end, business-as-fckng-usual-while-we-go-Q-Anon dreck and like it.

So, let Mr. Assange go...no more excuse!

'Productive' is an interesting way to put it.

Pelosi is a racist

Democrats legislate. Republicans obstruct.

Productive spending money they don’t have and bringing us towards economic collapse and WW3. Congratulations!!!!!!

Is their productiveness why we are rapidly heading to another depression?

Soon they won’t have this.
