The House "debated" the evils of "Socialism" and then went on vacation again until December. We're facing a health and food crisis, you lazy git.
November 21, 2025

The House's only business today is debating a resolution condemning Socialism in all its forms, and then it leaves until December. Must be a nice gig, huh? Republicans have had 15 years to come up with a viable health care plan for Americans. We're witnessing the laziest, most slack-jawed, tone-deaf Congress in recent history.

Just three weeks ago, House Speaker Mike Johnson insisted, "Republicans have been working on fixing healthcare; how to make Obamacare affordable," and we've heard nothing substantial since then. Johnson and his GOP colleagues are very redundant on this matter, some echoing Trump's "concept of a plan" that he promised during his first term.

Democrats refused to reopen the government until healthcare subsidies for 24 million Americans who buy insurance through the Affordable Care Act were kept in place. Republicans pushed back, saying they will negotiate once the government reopens. And now the government is open, and members of the House are taking a vacation until December.

And so, this happened:

Also, we're facing a food crisis; however, SNAP benefits are slowly coming back for food-insecure Americans. But the Trump administration sought to make it more difficult to receive those benefits by requiring people to reapply. They're walking that back now, though. Still, food prices are increasing.

Social media users weighed in:

Socialism in all forms, eh? I sure hope he doesn't need to call the fire department. What Republicans prefer is unfettered capitalism that's ripe with corruption.
