Passing bills to do what?
IMO, the malicious bomb throwers have grown too numerous and too powerful for anyone in the Republican party to even keep the lights on.
The good news is that Democrats and some Republicans are trying, and that there are actually some issues, like Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine which cut across party lines.

@independentone I'm not 100% in agreement with you on Israel, at least in the long run, but I really wish we had a functional Congress addressing both issues, instead of talking about space lasers and what kind of distractions they can do to influence the next election.

@MistyCee Unless Netanyahu does as he is told, the US should end all weapons and support. If Israel wants to go it alone, let em, but with no support of the US
@independentone I would love to see a more stable middle rest with less bloodshed, and less Netanyahu and right wing zealots in charge on Israel for that matter, but cutting off all US support for Israel seems like an awfully big move.
