Welcome back to OnThePoint, I’m Greg C. Truax.
President Trump makes news, but here’s another headline: Senate Majority Leader John Thune says 2025 was a historically busy—and productive—year for the U.S. Senate: the longest session in more than 15 years, and the most votes in half a century.
The Senate confirmed over 400 presidential nominees, far exceeding recent past totals. It also repealed a slate of burdensome Biden-era rules and regulations. And the results weren’t abstract: legislation to fight fentanyl, keep criminals off our streets, create the first federal stablecoin framework, and—importantly—pass working-family tax cuts that open new opportunity by putting more money in Americans’ pockets.
That’s not rhetoric—that’s governing. And it’s exactly what Washington should look like.
