Are you tired of seeing Republican members of Congress on conservative news sites or radio shows yakking away about holding yet another hearing? Are you tired of reading yet another op-ed, Truth Social or X post by a Republican representative or senator?

If Democrats had the same slim majority, they would have passed multiple bills by the 100-day mark!

Our government was not designed to be run by executive orders that can be swiftly erased by the next president. It was not designed for district court judges to issue nationwide injunctions. 

But EOs are what President Trump is forced to do because of our failed Republican Congress. According to Amuse and Leading Report the current GOP-controlled Congress sent fewer bills to President Trump during his first 100 days to sign into law than any Congress in 70 years!

Consider how many bills other presidents have signed when they reached their 100-day mark:

· President Joe Biden in 2021 had signed seven bills into law.
· President Trump in 2017 had signed 24 bills into law.
· President Barack Obama in 2009 had signed 11 bills into law.
· President George W. Bush in 2001 had signed seven bills into law.
· President Bill Clinton in 1993 had signed 21 bills into law.
· President George H.W. Bush in 1989 had signed 13 bills into law.
· President Ronald Reagan in 1981 had signed nine bills into law.
· President Jimmy Carter in 1977 had signed 19 bills into law.
· President Richard Nixon in 1969 had signed eight bills into law.
· President John F. Kennedy in 1961 had signed 20 bills into law.
· President Dwight Eisenhower in 1953 had signed 20 bills into law.

President trump has signed only five bills!!!

Let’s tell the Republican leadership to stop yakking and pass the Trump America First agenda as this is the only way we can keep Congress, especially the House in 2026!
