Because people once in a while get together enough to make this happen, then ignore politics for two years. We have a representative government, but we can’t assume they are doing their job well without checking on them from time to time and reminding them why they’re there.
And part of it isn’t their fault - the House has the same problem many classrooms have, too many kids per teacher to do an effective job with each one of them. So the loudest or the neediest get the attention, and the rest fend for themselves. We’ve got to find a way to reduce how many people each representative actually looks over. This also would more accurately split power in districts.
I anticipate so many speeches without any meaningful actions, followed by a return in 2028 to previous red/blue splits.

I think we’ll see more of it read into congressional hearings as a few people scratch the itch of wanting to be president in 28.
I suspect most of the bad stuff in the official copies has been destroyed, and victim and witnesses killed.

Jeffires is already talking about how voters aren’t interested in “revenge”.
Yea we want justice, not revenge. Too bad they look very similar to braindead conservatives, and the Dems are happy enough to assuage their concerns.
'Cause, you know, that’s their constituents.
