Much of the orange clownshow is to distract from what they're actually doing. [View all]

Remember when R's were so upset that Biden tapped the Strategic Petroeum Reserve to stave off Saudi price gouging?

IOKYAR-
39. H.R.92 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To provide for the development of a plan to increase oil and gas production under oil and gas leases of Federal lands under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Agriculture, the Secretary of Energy, the Secretary of the Interior, and the Secretary of Defense in conjunction with a drawdown of petroleum reserves from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

From repealing the ACA, to greasing the skids for fascism, they've been busy.

H.R.221 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To abolish the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
H.R.218 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To authorize State enforcement of immigration laws, and for other purposes.
H.R.191 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To repeal the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022.
H.R.190 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To provide for expedited removal of certain illegal aliens.
H.R.142 — 119th Congress (2025-2026) To amend chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, to provide that major rules of the executive branch shall have no force or effect unless a joint resolution of approval is enacted into law. (I'm no lawyer, but this may be to summarily undo Biden's executive orders, but prolly has a carve out for their god emperor?)

Anyhow, there are 90+ bills currently sponsored by Biggs.
