“Washington, D.C. is broken.”

Republican Congresswoman Debbie Lesko (representing Arizona’s 8th Congressional district) announced that she will not seek reelection in 2024.

Lesko cited a broken government that is not accomplishing much and the time she spends away from her family as the reasons for her decision.

In four simple words, Lesko warned that “Washington, D.C. is broken.”

There is still no end in sight for the high-stakes speakership battle after House Republicans ousted Kevin McCarthy more than two weeks ago. Without a speaker no laws can be passed.

Even worse Rep. Drew Ferguson of Georgia said in a statement that after voting against Jim Jordan, his family started receiving death threats: “That is simply unacceptable, unforgivable, and will never be tolerated.”

Axios reported that Ferguson told other House Republicans in a Thursday meeting “that he’s had to have a sheriff stationed at his daughter’s school over death threats from the far right. Also one at his house.”

The New York Times reported that the wife of Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska “has begun sleeping with a loaded gun after receiving increasingly menacing anonymous calls and texts.”

Citizens of our country and people around the world are wondering what has happened to the United States.
