Yes! Speaker Johnson — it’s time to bring Republicans back to work, reopen the government, and pass this bipartisan ban on congressional stock trading. New Mexicans deserve leaders that work for them, not to enrich themselves.

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

How is this even allowed? Destroying history for someone that won't be living in the People's House much longer! It is now evident that a Republican majority can not govern and will not honor their oaths to the US Constitution.
