- gumby 8y agoNot just the back button — as you scroll it reloads, causing my default reader mode to restart. Absurd for a page of text — don’t they want me to read it?

- anarbadalov 8y agoUgh, I'm sorry.
- gumby 8y agoIt’s interesting how important the House was in those days and how supine the Senate — similar to the houses of commons and lords on which it was partially modeled. Nowadays the house seems like a noisy but marginal chamber with all the practical congressional power residing in the Senate.
- tptacek 8y agoHow do you figure that? The House controls the money. The GOP house in 2017 is the reason the Trump administration failed to repeal the ACA, which was the GOP's signature platform promise (the Freedom Caucus Republicans, who support austerity, couldn't reach an agreement with purple state Republicans). Individual Senators make bigger names for themselves --- they serve longer terms and are elected statewide, rather than by a state district --- but the House itself is arguably the most powerful branch of the government.
