Moving the summer break up just means less time to hold lawmakers accountable while they dodge tough questions.

A shorter summer break? Finally, some discipline in the swamp instead of lounging until Labor Day.

Moving the adjournment up? About time Congress starts putting in some real hours instead of endless breaks.

Cutting short Congress’s summer break? Sure, but only if they spend those extra weeks fighting for the people, not just politicking.

Less summer recess means fewer days loafing around and more days representing the hardworking taxpayers.

Shifting the calendar won’t fix gridlock—maybe they should work on actually solving problems, not just changing dates.

Adjusting the calendar sounds neat, but results speak louder than dates on a page.

If Congress wants a shorter summer, they better show up ready to work—no more vacations disguised as governance.
