Republican Lack of Agenda

• 🎯 Republicans are criticized for having no agenda and spending their time on "unhinged censure resolutions" instead of policies to improve American lives.
• 💡 The speaker notes that Republicans control the House, Senate, and presidency, yet their focus remains on censure.

Speaker Johnson's Control Issues

• ⚠️ House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that Speaker Mike Johnson has zero control over the House Republican Conference.
• 🗣️ Jeffries highlighted that even Donald Trump publicly acknowledged Johnson's limited authority by stating he has only two titles: President and Speaker.
• 📉 This lack of control leads to the conference "running wild" and prioritizing censure resolutions over substantive policy.

Bipartisan Proposals
