While Rep. Norman, a Freedom Caucus member, and I don’t often see “eye to eye”, I completely agree with him about the GOP’s horrific abdication of its congressional duties by canceling votes for the rest of September. We have so much to do on AI guardrails, making America more affordable, stopping corruption, helping our farmers and small businesses, and ending this war.
Canceling yet another day of votes is unacceptable.
The House has now canceled at least 63 scheduled voting days this Congress, including nine days this month alone, and now we're leaving Washington until after the election.
The Founders did not envision taking this much time off and still getting paid.
If Members of Congress want to go home and campaign instead of doing the job taxpayers sent us here to do, then their campaigns ought to be paying them, NOT the American taxpayer.
We still have work to do.
