"Here’s a hard truth Republicans don’t want to hear: Nancy Pelosi was a more effective House speaker than any Republican this century," she wrote. "I agree with her on essentially nothing. But she understood something we don’t: No majority is permanent."
The congresswoman wrote that unlike Republicans, when Democrats hold the majority, "they ram through the most progressive policies they can," and "deliver for the coalition that elected them while they are in power."
Continuing her criticism of Congress' dysfunction, Mace maintained that "the current House is restrictive and ineffective," producing "control with barely any results."
She argued that "Republican leadership seems intent on replicating" Pelosi's "model of consolidation" without any of the former House speaker's "bold vision to push through the policies that won us the majority."
Concluding her essay, Mace left Republicans with a stark warning for the upcoming 2026 midterm elections.
"Today Republicans have a governing trifecta: the House, the Senate and the White House. If we fail to pass legislation that permanently secures the border, addresses the affordability crisis, improves health care and restores law and order, we will lose this majority. And we will deserve it," she cautioned.

This is exactly what they need to say when they campaign. They need to scare the crap out of people by stating that the borders will again be wide open, criminals will take over and good people will be prosecuted to the fullest extent over made up crimes.

Sadly, she’s right.In the federal government, most Republicans are Democrats.Dems are ruthless in getting their agenda pushed through.
Republicans play too nice.
No Democrats are Republicans.
I’ve noticed that as well.
I just want him to get Trump's EO's codified so we can keep the Dems from just undoing everything, and they will if Congress does not get off its @ss.
Re “… Why is it always so hard for the Rs to do this..”
Because theyre either gutless, compromised, or in on it.
Or maybe a bit of all three.
