All newly elected midterm congress and senate representatives better get your heads together and get away from the thrill and high of "campaign" mode by thinking the media will be your mouthpiece. The powers that be in the Senate and House are already conspiring and undermining you, out Rules of Order you and will continue to treat you as outsiders.
You've already been introduced to the "blue dogs" with the Hegseth impeachment vote. Already had legislation speeding by you in the Veterans Bill. It doesn't matter that you represent other american citizens that are equal to the ones they represent.
American journalism amounts to sensationalist matters such as "Is AOC going to run for President?" or "Will Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jefferies like you enough to hand out some responsibility and not destroy your political future/"
Just remember this on your first day, unless you've been taught before you even take office: They are everything you said or thought they are.
In the words of allred black in his famous rant, Men in Ties, Women in Dress Suits. "Welcome to the new world. you're lucky because you haven't been branded by a corporate logo yet."
