It's frustrating when your government, the people who are supposed to be working for you turn their backs on their sworn duties. Mike Collins calls for Congress to go home a day early. No surprise. He, like a lot of other people working in government disregard the appropriate policies when it comes to what concerns the average American citizen. The corruption in Washington has long been overlooked and it's very enlightening to see it happen before your eyes as though we're all blind. You can read between the lines every time there's something going on which is, of course each and every day. Crime doesn't take a vacation. It's a 24/7 operation and I'm still in shock that we have Trump as president. Pure shock. I believe most people in this country would like to see him gone but where would that leave us? It would leave us with JD Vance and that's not a gamble I would not want to take. That man is dangerous. The fact that the House Speaker decided to close session a day early is an admission in itself. Congress has not and is still not following any will of the people. The faction of US government is not functioning the way it's supposed to. It's not performing it's duties in accordance to the US Constitution. There's been an extensive period of time where the American people have not called government officials out on their lack of compliance with the Constitution. The fault lies with the American people. Congress has been allowed to fall short of their obligations to the American people though complacency. More and more people disinterested in American politics for so many years leaves a faction of government to run amuck. Now that the "muck" is so obvious, so in your face and blatantly obvious we hopefully have a lot of people rethinking their relationship with American government with open eyes. We have a tendency to generalize as a society and that behavior has caused a disconnection between many different types of people. Grey areas narrowed since the seventies and the 80s clones pretty much dissolved any we had left. Tolerance for people who didn't look, act, speak, work, dress or eat like you dwindled. I believe we fought for identity in the 90s. No one really knowing where they "belonged" we just moved through that decade hoping we'd survive Y2K. Through the past 25 years or so I don't believe we know ourselves never mind other people. It's almost as though we never regained a sense of who were are as a nation. So again, complacency fosters displacement. Displacement fosters disassociation and very easily a divisive country. I've never seen such deep divides within the country and you really have to be aware of what that looks like to truly realize it's there. There was a time where the uneducated wanted to be like the educated but in recent years I've seen the rebellion against the educated by the people who did not afford themselves an education. It wasn't just for the degrees I went to college for the social connections and the awareness of many different people from all walks of life congregated on one campus. The views and opinions, the background stories and the knowledge of "who" they were. To me it's a shame all people don't have that curiosity. That willingness to open themselves to get to know all different kinds of people from so many different places. At age 67 I'm contemplating taking another class just to get back out there and experience the collegiate melting pot. I guess the point of my comment today is that we need to stop bickering and bring that sense of community to a broader area that includes not only your neighbors, not only the development you live in, not only the town you live in but with you where we you go. If we can come together in awareness that this is what American needs in order to call out these factions of US government and force them to execute their duties according to the US Constitution we may be able to recapture "who we are as a nation".
I have to apologize for the typos toward the end of my original comment as I was wearing myself out.... for those who it may have confused I meant "bring the sense of community with you wherever you go" and of course, "America" not American. Again, apologies as I couldn't find the way to edit my comment and my downfall for using Google's autocorrect 👎
Kathy you're a sweetheart. Thank you. I knew I had done it once before. I just could not fit the life of me remember how I did it! I was in kind of a rush to get to an appt actually. Thanks again this should be a breeze!
Mr. Hegseth is widely recognized as a buffoon who is truly in a position beyond his abilities. By avoiding a vote it lets the Republicans in Congress off the hook as having to decide what is in the best interests of this country or once again kissing Mr. trump's backside.
No, it’s Johnson & Johnson trying to apply another bandaide on this misbegotten administration! He’s so afraid of aDJT’s rathe that he’s doing anything to keep the Congress from voting against Trump’s wishes! Bottom line: Johnson and colleague want to have time to look at another poll in their respective districts to see which way the wind is blowing!
This is not a country any more. Democracy is all gone. This group of republicans are so pathetic. They are not humans they are just whimpy brown noses of their king. So shameful
So the House is afraid that bringing impeachment vote for Hegseth would pass?!?
I am not surprised by Johnson's cowardice. He is terrified that it might pass.
It’s a disgrace! And I’m sorry and embarrassed to say that I was once a Republican. DONE!!!

That denies all of America its representation. He’s become quite a conniving traitor.
Cowards… they do this all the time. My Rep., Kat Cammack has worked fewer days than Mitch was on paid sick leave.
I'm hoping Seth Harp kicks Kat Cammack's butt on November 3rd.

Arme_XI,Have you tried clicking on the three dots on the far right.There should be an “edit” feature.

Who's surprised?
That Republican is who sponsored the Hegseth impeachment is quite a politician!
[I recently googled the meaning of "politician." It's a shame that for me the term has come to mean what is listed as its derogatory connotation.]
Doesn’t surprise me. My son is still there.
