Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

It’s been 38 days since the House last held a vote.
No appropriations bills.
No committee work.
No progress.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even swear in duly elected Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.
Enough excuses. Bring the House back to work and do your job.
