@cnn: Dozens of newly elected incoming members of Congress gathered in Washington, DC on Sunday at the start of a post-election orientation period. CNN's Kit Maher reports from Capitol Hill.
What we voters who voted all of you all in want to see is for you all to flood the zone with independent single subject bills and make everybody vote up or down on them. You could start with a lot of things that would probably pass. Things that you could get bipartisan agreement on. Do not try and create our own version of the big beautiful bill that was anything but beautiful. I’m just a regular person in a regular city trying to live a regular life and I can’t afford to go outside. I work upwards to 10 hours a day, and if that means that you all have to stay in Washington and work long days to get things done, so be it. Normal Americans are struggling just to buy gas. I work overtime just to pay for gas for a regular week. Make it make sense and do your jobs or in two years we will flip this again. Sincerely, a Black Woman.

The good thing about most incoming freshman congressmen/women on the democratic side are not backed by big donors they are ready to fight unlike the previous years.

How old were you when you realised that politicians don’t have to have studied law

This is how a politician should speak… in defense of the people, not the President.
