Punchbowl News: “There’s no question that the 117th Congress may be the most bizarre, the most troubled, in American history. There’s the pandemic. The Jan. 6 insurrection and the aftermath of that. Thousands of National Guard troops stationed for months in a fenced-off Capitol. Metal detectors outside the House floor and mask mandates when on it. Trillions of dollars worth of legislation being approved on party line votes. Ugly partisan exchanges everywhere. The House is a tense, deeply unhappy place right now.”
