Criticism has mounted against House Republicans as they leave for the holiday recess, with multiple Democratic representatives and committees accusing them of failing to accomplish legislative duties and engaging in political gamesmanship. The House GOP has been characterized as endangering the economy by threatening to default on debt and shutting down the government. Despite being in the majority for nearly a year, they are accused of having no legislative successes to show, focusing instead on what has been described as a 'fact-free fishing expedition' and a 'sham impeachment,' as well as a bill undoing healthy school lunch options. The first government shutdown deadline looms just days after Congress is set to return in January, with little progress made on appropriations since the last stopgap funding bill in November. The House has been called 'historically unproductive,' having passed only 27 bills into law despite holding more than 700 votes this year, and has been accused of wasting money in a pursuit of revenge. The House Republican majority is also criticized for having zero accomplishments and pursuing an extreme MAGA agenda that includes banning abortion and slashing social security and Medicare.
In a year of divided government, when House Republicans were even divided against themselves, Congress was historically unproductive. Despite holding more than 700 votes this year, the House only managed to pass 27 bills that have made it into law. https://t.co/MAC93F9dxz
Republicans took over the House almost a year ago and they have done nothing. The American people cannot afford another year of these petty games. Republicans need to work with Democrats & get things done for the PEOPLE! https://t.co/miYIVFHLy4

One year of the House Republican majority, and what have they done for the American people? Nothing. https://t.co/4YLXnzxOiS
Not surprising at all. Do-nothing Republicans have zero accomplishments because instead of working with Democrats to find bipartisan solutions, they spent the year pursuing an extreme MAGA agenda that bans abortion, slashes social security and Medicare, all while doing nothing. https://t.co/ywyN5OWXUH
Instead of doing their jobs, House Republicans spent this wasting time on economic brinksmanship and playing political games. When they did bother to show up for work, they couldn’t do their most basic responsibilities, like funding the government. https://t.co/fokKa6TgVo
🚨🚨🚨 The numbers don’t lie: Republicans' do-nothing Majority is HISTORICALLY unproductive. https://t.co/rB6vgMuErs
Extreme MAGA Republicans have done nothing all year to lower costs & make life easier for American families. Instead, they've operated in a constant state of chaos, playing dangerous political games & hurting the American people in the process. WATCH: https://t.co/rUOfZ8y7Ph
Last week, House Republicans wasted time on a sham impeachment and a bill undoing healthy school lunch options. Yes, you read that right. Now we’re going into a holiday without passing necessary appropriations bills. House Republicans need to get serious & get back to work.
The @HouseGOP has been in the Majority for nearly a year. And they have nothing to show for it. No solutions for families. Just chaos and conspiracies. https://t.co/aiHzY5ZRFJ
The first government shutdown deadline is just days after Congress returns in early January. Republicans have made little progress on appropriations since the last stopgap funding bill in November. @juliegraceb on the coming govt mess https://t.co/gLlLCSGK1Z
Last week, House Republicans dressed up their fact-free fishing expedition and then fled town, leaving crucial legislative work undone. As the @LasVegasSun writes, “House Republicans have no qualms wasting their time, our money in pursuit of revenge” https://t.co/cY4bi61E9H
House Republicans are skipping town for the holidays having achieved nothing for the American people this year. Rather than fulfilling their responsibilities, they've spent the year endangering our economy, threatening to default on our debt and shutdown the government. https://t.co/MPTec6YyER
