Apparently so. They have passed all of their "First 100 Hours" proposals except one and they have been in session for less than 40 hours. I wonder if they will take Monday and Friday off next week like the Republican Congress has done for the last several years?

To answer tok h's question, the "First 100 Hours" are *legislative* hours, not 100 consecutive hours.
"...Pelosi’s first reported use of the phrase '100 legislative hours' was on October 27, when she wrote, in a letter to USA Today, that 'in our first 100 legislative hours in office, we have a bipartisan and achievable plan' to enact the new agenda. But the distinction did not catch on. In fact, the phrase '100 legislative hours' has never appeared in the Washington Post or the New York Times."(1)

About as much as the last congress,NOTHING!,except grandstanding in front of the press.Big deal, a bill doesn't mean anything unless it passes the blow-hards in the senate and maybe a veto from the President.T ill then it is just propaganda

Once in a blue moon, which isn't often, or when
the spot light is on them, like the first 100 hours,
after that, it is business as usual, which means NOTHING!!!!!

Once the "100 hours" is passed, they'll go back to be lazy, like every other politician.

ARE YOU KIDDING THIS CONGRESS IS DOING NOTHING BUT TALKING CRAP AND EVERY DEMOCRATIC SENATOR HAS THROWN THEIR HAT INTO THE NEXT PRESIDENTIAL RACE. THEY WILL BE AT EACH OTHERS THROATS IN NO TIME. HILLARY IS ALREADY DUMPING ON BARAK HUSSEIN. THE WAR OF THE DEMOCRATS IS ABOUT TO START. TAKE YOUR SEATS AND WATCH THE SHOW.
