As an American political historian, I can confirm that this Congress has been "almost unmatched in history" in several categories -- sad abdication of its war powers, craven surrender of the power of the purse, weird refusal to conduct meaningful oversight, and an utter failure to pass actual laws.

A senior US service member told ABC damage to Middle East bases from Iranian attacks could take “decades” to repair. The destruction was far greater than the public was aware of, with some facilities “irreparably damaged” and rebuilding requiring years of construction rather than a quick repair.
