Congress is set to recess for the month of August 2026, returning on September 9, 2026. (RollCall.com)
The boys and girls need another vacation; no worries. This group of tax-paying freeloaders will still get paid, will still receive their paid-for health coverage, and the money will still flow freely into their retirement funds.
Congress is leaving town because, well, just because.
I mean, we have a war in Iran. The Epstein Files are still a big, bad, dark, devious secret. The new Attorney General is still Trump’s private lawyer. The corruption of the entire Trump Family and his Corporations remains outrageous and right in our faces.
Tariffs are back in style. The Strait of Hormuz, the once open Strait, remains closed, and gas prices are climbing higher and higher. Affordability is unaffordable. ICE is still hiding behind masks and kidnapping people. Wildfires are blazing and burning in the United States. Health premiums for anyone who is not a Billionaire or a Federal Politician are out of control.
The cuts by Musk's DOGE are hurting everyday Americans, and measles and diarrhea are two of the most popular illnesses to haunt, hurt, and sicken Americans.
Trump is still pouting and lying about the 2020 elections and is no longer in the shadows but perfectly in our faces, preparing for either a declaration of martial law in November, inciting another insurrection, or plotting with his Fascists how to make certain the Midterms are no longer a demonstration of democracy in action.
BUT THE CONGRESS is taking yet another vacation, giving zero shits about the rest of the country!
