It’s enraging to me how often they just don’t go to things. Even watching CSPAN, unless it’s a special day or something, tons of Congress just isn’t there, and the ones that are all half on their phone or sleeping in their seat.

Ro Khanna? Rep of Silicon Valley? That's the one who missed the meeting? Shocked. Shocked!

Even (especially?) for electeds who only see their role as being within the guardrails of normal procedure and voting, the kind of detachment you sometimes see *even in that narrowed area-of-action* is infuriating.

Ro Khanna certainly never misses a chance to be in front of a camera. He should be attending his committee meetings.

Expecting Democrats to be competent leads to nothing but disappointment
