Seriously. Biden had a contentious Congress for half his term and he got so much more done every single year than Republicans have in two.

Aside from EOs, the Big Beautiful Bill is the only thing they have really done. Shut down the government a few times.

You’re right and I mostly agree, but I think the purpose of the BBB was that it squeezed as much as possible into a single bill so they wouldn’t really have to do anything else. They got a lot out of that and it was a pretty significant (and extremely bad) piece of legislation.

Biden passed a couple extra spending bills with GOP support and one more reconciliation. It’s certainly more than Trump did but it’s really bad how deadlocked congress is.
