WASHINGTON, D.C. — As the transition period from the Biden White House to the incoming Trump administration began, congressional Republicans assured the American people that they were already hard at work figuring out how to squander the next two years.
With voters giving the GOP full control of the White House and Congress, Republican leaders wanted to make sure their constituents were confident that they were doing everything in their power to make sure nothing is achieved before the 2026 mid-term elections.
"The American people can rest assured that we're doing everything we can to mess this up," said Senator Mitch McConnell. "The voters made their voices heard loud and strong last week and handed our party a mandate to get things done, which is exactly why we're not even waiting until January — we're already working to do what we do best, which is nothing."
Though Trump's administration and the incoming Congress won't take power until the calendar turns to 2025, Republicans who are already in Congress have cleared their schedules and are fully committed to failing to accomplish anything for the next two years. "This is about getting no results," said Congressman Dan Crenshaw. "We've been given a solemn responsibility to come to Washington, fight amongst ourselves, get nothing done, and hopefully alienate enough of our voters to lose control of at least one house of Congress back to the Democrats in 2026. It's our job, and we take it seriously."
Crenshaw then directed his staff to send another fundraising email.
At publishing time, Senate Republicans had also assured the American people that they were already collaborating to come up with new and innovative ways to undermine Trump's second term.

Could be a lot of truth in the Bee’s sacasm.
Nothing new there.
When did the Bee switch from satire to a factual news site?!?
Too many spineless, gutless pubbie politicians. Many will stymie Trump at every step of the way.
I know its the Bee but I’ll say it anyway.
Congressional Republicans are almost as bad as Congressional Democrats.
In some ways worse.
Everybody knows or should know that political Democrats are the wolves.
But political Republicans are wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Beating them to the punch.
It up to Team Trump to beat them into line.
He has a lot more allies in Congress now then he did in 2017. For example, my Congressman MTG only got into Congress because of her anger at the way House GOP squandered the opportunity in 2017/18.
On the Senate side the new Congress is more MAGA. The biggest clown in the RINO circus, Romney will be gone once the new Congress is sworn in
My issue is corrupt Republicans—if their focus is on service to self instead of service to country we pay the price.
On the Senate side the new Congress is more MAGA. The biggest clown in the RINO circus, Romney will be gone once the new Congress is sworn in
We dodged a bullet in Hogan not winning.
Maybe they’re consulting Paul Ryan for advice.
Nowadays, with The Bee you can never be sure, they can even be both at the same time in the same article.
I do Love The Bee!
I wish I thought it was just sarcasm but I doubt that it is. They could screw up a two car funeral, by intention and be happy about it.
I wish I could say you are wrong, however, I would be a lying RINO.
This doesn’t look like sarcasm.
Ooops. Satire...
It is a shame isn’t it? Like leading a charge only to look around and find you are alone in No-man’s land about to be slaughtered as your cowardly troops look on. No leader worth his salt deserves this. I is cowardice in the face of the enemy. In this case though, worse, treason against the will of the people and their best interest.
Wouldn't surprise me. It's the main reason I call them Repukes.
John Thune will lead they way as a puppet of Ditch.
I wish I could say you are wrong.
