It's pretty wild to me that all of congress and relevant people aren't required to be there. They signed up for this job and get paid for it, this is absurd.

[cafemolido]

Need an amendment to force all members to be present

[DebraReams-yk]

Where are the rest of the people who should be voting.

[GregoryLander]

Ever notice that no one shows up to these but, they would if their paycheck counted on it! And SHOULD!

[real-American-man]

If you didn’t show up to your job functions as much as these people you would be fired. Hell if you are late too many times you get fired.

Mr. Simpson is an example of why there should be age limits. He needs to retire, resign or whatever! We need people who want to work and CAN work!

[OneMeanArtist]

These people need to show up to their f*cking jobs. Why is this room always damn near empty?

[grammygrammy]

No one should be allowed to vote without proof of citizenship

[Dan.]

"congress" should have to punch a time clock and get paid by the hour.

[sgtrickards]

Give their money to the Veterans they hate.

[kasperkap]

If this doesn't make you understand that our political system is a joke nothing will

[comment.highlighted]

What are we witnessing? A handful of people showed up for work? It only affects THE WHOLE COUNTRY! 🤷‍♂️🤨

Amazing 1 of Lauren Boebert amendments passed, Keep up the good work.

[ChiefS-cihd]

Our GOVERNMENT is too big!! Term limits would take care of that issue!

[skAhnaksA]

She said the EPA is creating law which isn't their authority.

[SkipMichael]

Where are the Republicans to back her up.

[garytompkins]

I'll personally pay Melissa Swartz 2.00 a month to NEVER step foot in Washington again!!

[rinab]

WHERE ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES in those seats??!!! ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL!!!! WE WANT SMALLER GOVERNMENT!!!

[robinluich]

Bicycle subsidies for non motorized bicycles??
Just pissed me off!
Trillions in debt and theyre laundering our money through ridiculous bills!
This is outrageous!
Whoever passed that bill in the first place needs fired!
Woman from Mainr needs to be fired first!
We are all working Americans, federal workers are not more important than those taxpsyers they work for!

[Nah]

Closing power plants: This is just another reason why there is no longer a manufacturing sector or middle class: cutting off energy to power manufacturing plants people's homes, putting companies out of business and bleeding Bank accounts dry!
