Quite a Week for the House

November 22, 2025 · 7:49 am ET · Leave a Comment

“The lower chamber returned Monday for its first full week of work since mid-September. And what a week it was,” Punchbowl News reports.

Axios: “The House of Representatives had, by any reasonable standard, an absolutely insane week — marked by censure votes, indictments and a literal fire at the U.S. Capitol complex — as lawmakers returned from their seven-week absence.”

“To cap it off, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), one of the chamber’s biggest firebrands, announced Friday night she’ll resign from Congress after her public split from President Trump.”

“To members in both parties, the chaos was simply the crescendo to a years-long period of shame for the lower chamber.”
