众议院多数党鞭汤姆·埃默（明尼苏达州共和党人）大声说出了众议院共和党人今年大部分时间里一直在抱怨的事情：他们厌倦了参议院。
House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) is saying out loud what House Republicans have been grumbling about for much of the year: They're fed up with the Senate. Why it matters
为什么重要 您永远不会听到议长迈克·约翰逊（共和党人）的讲话或多数党领袖史蒂夫·斯卡利斯（共和党人）这样谈论他们的参议院同行。
You won't ever hear Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) or Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) talk about their Senate counterparts like this. • "There are no Democrats. There are no Republicans.
- “没有民主党人。没有共和党人。他们只是参议员，”埃默上周在Axios为众议员马克·哈里斯（R-NC）参加的闭门筹款活动上告诉捐助者。
They are just senators," Emmer told donors last week at a closed-door fundraiser Axios attended for Rep. Mark Harris (R-N.C.). • Emmer said Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.)
- 埃默表示，参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（RS.D.）“正在做他认为他应该做的工作。美国参议院有一个兄弟姐妹会。"
"is doing the job that he thinks he's supposed to do. There's a certain fraternity sorority that is the U.S. Senate." The intrigue:
阴谋：埃默向一再表示无法通过众议院共和党优先事项的参议员发出了直言不讳的信息：“不要只是一直告诉我‘没有选票’。没有选票。'你太糟糕了。"
Emmer had a blunt message for senators who repeatedly say they can't pass House GOP priorities: "Don't just keep telling me 'Don't have the votes. Don't have the votes.'
- 埃默说，作为众议院议员，他曾经认为自己应该远离阻挠辩论。现在，他认为他的同事应该“摆脱该死的阻挠。"
You suck." • Emmer said he once thought as a House member that he should stay out of the filibuster debate. Now, he thinks his colleagues should "get rid of the darn filibuster."
- 一名参议院共和党助手反驳说，失去多数席位才是“糟糕的”，共和党人应该针对民主党，而不是攻击自己的一方。
• A Senate GOP aide retorted that what would "suck" would be losing the majority and that Republicans should be targeting Democrats instead of attacking their own side.
推动新闻：埃默的言论是众议院共和党领导人迄今为止最具批评性的言论，但总结了会议内部的气氛。
Driving the news: Emmer's comments are the most critical yet from a House GOP leader, but sum up the mood inside the conference.
- 今年夏天，十几名共和党人在众议院陷入瘫痪，试图迫使参议院对《拯救美国法案》采取行动，该法案是共和党的标志性选举法案，已成为参众两院之间紧张关系的主要根源。
• More than a dozen Republicans paralyzed the House floor this summer in an effort to force Senate action on the SAVE America Act, the GOP's signature election bill that's become a major source of tension between the two chambers.
- “我们对参议院感到沮丧，”埃默在筹款活动后接受Axios采访时说道。“我们觉得我们一直在做我们被雇用要做的一切，而且很多事情都交给了参议院，而且它就坐在那里。"
• "We're frustrated with the Senate," Emmer told Axios in an interview after the fundraiser. "We feel like we've been doing everything we were hired to do, and a lot of it goes over to the Senate and it just sits there."
- 埃默认为，众议院共和党人“将选票投在董事会上”，而参议员“试图避免”进行强硬投票。
• House Republicans put their votes "up on the board," Emmer argued, while senators "try to avoid" taking tough votes.
大局：当被问及未完成的事业时，众议院共和党领导人经常说他们已经“完成了自己的工作”。但这句话中有一个明确的含义：参议院还没有。
The big picture: House GOP leaders often say they've "done their job" when asked about unfinished business. But there's a clear implication in that phrase: The Senate hasn't.
- 约翰逊指出了国会大厦的积压问题--包括上个月初他为让众议院回家辩护，指出众议院通过的数百项法案正在等待参议院采取行动。
• Johnson has pointed to the backlog across the Capitol — including when he defended sending the House home early last month by noting that hundreds of House-passed bills were awaiting Senate action.
- 议长将此归咎于民主党，但他的抱怨使参议院共和党领导层成为焦点。
• The speaker blames Democrats for that, but his complaints have put the spotlight on Senate GOP leadership.
放大：国会共和党人在夏天的大部分时间里都在完全不同的角度上讨论和解3.0，而和解3.0不需要任何民主党选票。
Zoom in: Congressional Republicans spent much of the summer on completely different wavelengths over reconciliation 3.0 which doesn't require any Democratic votes.
- 约翰逊推动参议院接受众议院的和解框架，并于7月宣布参议院将在8月休会之前通过该框架。
• Johnson pushed the Senate to take up the House's reconciliation framework, declaring in July that the Senate would pass it before leaving for August recess.
- “这对我来说是个新闻，”图恩当时谈到约翰逊浮动的时间轴时说道。参议院离开时没有对和解3.0采取任何行动。
• "That'd be news to me," Thune said at the time about Johnson's floated timeline. The Senate left town without any action on reconciliation 3.0. • "They can say all day long, you know, 'It's going to be hard.' Everything's hard.
- “他们可以整天说，‘这会很难。“一切都很难。给我一堂关于事情有多困难的课。这就是我每天所做的事情。他们必须找到一种方法来完成这件事，”斯卡利斯七月份在参议院告诉Axios他的同事。
Give me a lecture about how hard things are. That's what I do every day. They've got to figure out a way to get it done," Scalise told Axios of his colleagues in the Senate in July.
底线：埃默没有说参议院共和党人比民主党人是共和党议程的更大障碍。
The bottom line: Emmer stopped short of saying Senate Republicans have been a bigger obstacle to the GOP agenda than Democrats.
- 但他表示，当涉及参议院共和党人时，有两件事让众议院议员感到沮丧：1）他们没有说什么改变会让他们同意; 2）当答案是否定的时，他们不会将自己记录在案。
• But he said two things frustrate lawmakers in the House when it comes to Senate Republicans: 1) They don't say what changes would get them to yes; and 2) they don't put themselves on the record when the answer is no.
- “把钱放在嘴边。把你的选票投到董事会上，让我们看看你到底在哪里，”埃默告诉Axios。
• "Put your money where your mouth is. Put your vote up on the board, and let's see where you really are," Emmer told Axios.
