I thought she hasn't been doing anything other than being a troll. Has she really sponsored or co-sponsored more than 37 bills or resolutions?

It may add up. She’s brought bills to impeach Biden several times and didn’t she sponsor some bill for an award for Kyle Rittenhouse?

Plus the house vs senate seems a little different when it comes to bills/resolutions sponsored and co-sponsored. Two different size ponds

No mention of Speaker Pelosi, the Jan 6 Committee, Covid 19 pandemic recovery , Ukraine support or Senator Schumer’s new haircut.
