Description

Discharge petitions are surging in Congress, with a record number of successful moves in 2025. This rare tactic, used to bypass leadership and force votes on stalled bills, has led to significant legislation on proxy voting, Jeffrey Epsteins Justice Department files, and now, unions and healthcare. Experts attribute this trend to the narrow Republican majority and Speaker Mike Johnsons tenuous control. As Congress heads into the 2026 midterms, these petitions are empowering moderates and challenging hardliners, promising more legislative drama in January. Checkout Solipillow.com
