The public is exhausted, and rightfully so. We are witnessing a systemic failure of our federal government, driven by a legislature that has entirely abandoned its primary duty. Instead of focusing on the tangible, urgent needs of the citizens they serve, lawmakers have allowed Capitol Hill to mutate. We are no longer governed by a representative body. We are being held hostage by a “Frankenstein Congress” — a legislative monster of our own creation that has broken free from its constitutional constraints to terrorize the public square with an endless, hyperpartisan media circus.

The absurdity of the modern Washington calendar is staggering. Look at any congressional schedule or cable news broadcast, and you will see an endless parade of high-profile investigations targeting individual public figures and their families. From the Clintons and the Trumps to the Bidens, Dr. Anthony Fauci, Jeffrey Epstein, and special counsel Jack Smith, Congress spends an inordinate and exhausting amount of time acting as a blunt-force political weapon. Politicians thump their chests, stake out the moral and ethical high ground, and grandstand for the cameras. This is not what we hired them to do. We elected them to be lawmakers, yet they spend their days playing amateur detectives, prosecutors, and reality television stars.
