The first order of business, after passing a bunch of nonsense rules about how they’d balance the budget and end all the programs that help people, was the big gift to the people they do want to help, the rich people who cheat on their taxes. That’s the bill that would rescind more than $70 billion Congress sent to the IRS last year. The one that the Congressional Budget Office said would actually cost the nation more than $114 billion in lost revenue over the next decade.
The next order of business was all the forced birth bills, setting down the marker that a national abortion ban is their ultimate goal, no matter how unpopular that idea is with actual people who vote.
They did squeeze in a vote on a bill purported to be about prohibiting sales from the Strategic Oil Reserve to China, but was really about yet another Hunter Biden conspiracy theory, a bill that did absolutely nothing to do what the GOP said their goal was: lower gas prices for Americans.
Then they took a week off to celebrate the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Kidding. They were just taking a week off.
What was it again the little red wave that couldn’t, promised would get done this month?
The overwhelming majority of the country that didn’t vote for, or is really paying attention to them, was just curious. Or not.

All those big promises the House GOP made for January? Total flop
Remember that ridiculous list of stuff the House GOP said it was going to do in the first two weeks of their majority? That was all the way back in December, before the long, arduous, and frankly hilarious Speaker election in which we all saw how far...
