So the House votes on 12 budget bills that die in a Dem senate. Then McConnell negotiates another omnibus with Schumer and dumps a “take it or leave it” deal on the House. Hard to see anything different coming out of this but at least they are fighting the swamp a bit.

Perhaps more optimistically, its called "a first step in draining the swamp". As in reducing the RINO influence in the R party; a handful with determination and political determination are rising to the challenge.

It’s called leverage, and their constituents demand it be used, aka “representation”.
