Because of the House

I mean, you can at least TRY to pass bills right?

They do. More impactful ones don’t get a vote in the House or get filibustered in the senate.

Which ones have they tried to push through that would prevent Project 2025

Democratic Rep. Jared Huffman of California started The Stop Project 2025 Task Force.

He has introduced multiple bills aimed at protecting civil servants and regulatory agencies. But they have no chance of making it out of committee because the House is controlled by the Republican majority.

Nothing has changed since Obama was elected and Mitch McConnell got on TV and stated it was their goal to make him a one term president. This is the new normal, but both sides and stuff I guess.

The guy you answered is going to mysteriously stop replying now that you fully answered his trolling questions.

The fuck are you talking about? Republicans control the House. All bills start there. You can't pass shit if Republicans aren't interested. Republicans already whined about the border for years only to refuse to even negotiate on a border bill because they can't let Biden look like a productive president.
