Someone needs to track posts by members of Congress and just automatically reply “there is no action attached to this statement” when there is no action attached.

White men are 30% of the US and if they look around the room and see it’s less than 90% white men they think it’s affirmative action.
85% of CEOs are white men.
All but one US President has been a white man.
65% of all elected offices are held by white men.
Roughly 30% of the population is white men.
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS TOPIC EVEN???

In my experience, it’s a guy with fewer skills and less experience, but gee he has potential! His greatest skills are typically drinking the koolaid, buzzword bingo and sucking up.
My entire career, I have been told I needed to study harder, learn more skills, gain more experience, dress nicer, be friendlier, not complain and just accept that a 6'2" white guy named Mike, John or Steve would be hired, paid and promoted more for the same skills, experience, and education.

218 members signed the discharge petition to force a vote to extend ACA tax credits.
If Speaker Johnson refuses to bring forth the vote, he’s telling the American people loud and clear that rising health care costs are acceptable to him.
