Hey congressional Republicans, still waiting for you to announce how much you’re cutting from congress’ own $6.5 billion budget….

If you expect a large dodge refund think again. $60 billion divided by 340 million citizens is under $200 each. Even if you only pay those over 18 it is still only a few hundred dollars. And later you may need those gov dept to give you aid What then? Who will or can you turn to?

Also, I’d like to see Congress, anyone with a net worth of $1 million take a leave of absence and give up their healthcare in solidarity with what they’re asking of the populous they represent as well as the jobs they are taking away from government employees.

I called my rep (Anna Paulina Luna) and she just cackled, I called my current single Senator (Rick Scott) and he just slithered to a warmer rock with more sunlight and stuck his tongue out at me.

Criminal Trump is not cutting government spending. He is redirecting to Elon Musk's businesses & Criminal Trump is getting a cut. The Nation dept will be increasing & Criminal Trump will show smok & mirrors to fool people. We need to keep track of Trump's looting. The National Debt as of today.

Don’t worry… emperor musk and stooge tRump will soon get congressional R’s to pass an enabling act to do away with congress entirely. And then we will really save and be “great again” … don’t you just love the echos of 1933 nazi germany …

Until people who make the rules have to live by them nothing changes. As long as their budget remains in tact, they don’t give a flip about other budgets. They don’t speak up about mass firings until their state is affected. Trump eventually steps on everyone’s toes. He is a narcissist.

Correct me if I’m wrong but Congress created the agencies, Congress, came up with the funding, and Congress allocated those funds. So how is it, that I am being fired for fraud, waste, and abuse, while the GOP sits on their hands? I did not decide where to spend that money? You want to find fraud?

Which legally means we should be allowed to file a mass civil TORT lawsuit against them all. They have constitutional immunity, but they aren't following the constitution, so would that just void the immunity clause? I'm just an average Joe here, but wtf? If not that, then we need RICO their asses.

I'm afraid you are going to be waiting a LOOOONG time for that. The GOP treason weasels will set the Constitution on fire, on the steps of the capital, before even one of them will give up one cent of their salary. {Wait a minute: can we even say "one cent" anymore? }

If spaceman has so much money, he should fund his own projects. Or how about we focus on all the problems on earth right now instead of bolting off into space? That can be put on hold for a bit I would think.

I am told there is a movement in the US to join Canada as our 11th province and I have a few conditions: -Premier Trump would need to be replaced with someone smarter and without a criminal record -no South African billionaires -Republicans and Fox News employees must undergo IQ tests

Sad thing is Dems haven’t either.. unfortunately they are not much different it’s just that we hate the gop congress more.. Dems give us just enough to satiate our hunger for our freedoms & the rights of everyone yo keep us “happy” & waltz by what really helps. America needs change.

Hey congressional Republicans, when will you realize that even your days are numbered? Once your orange god installs himself as emperor he will have no more need of you, the Senate, and the SCOTUS. Enjoy it while you can. This is the very best it’ll ever get for you.

So this is why I do not quote "facts" asserted without attribution, even if cited by a friend. That $6.5B includes the Library of Congress, the GAO, the U.S. Copyright Office, the CRS, the Budget Office, and others. It's the GOP's job to make big numbers seem outrageous when the truth is complex.

What is the source of this information? I do not repeat claims, like the amount budgeted for Congressional operations, unless I can confirm. I cannot find this information on the web. Please, if you throw out numbers, include a URL to substantiate them.

You ae 100% correct. It was a Canadian, Kevin O’Leary, visiting Maga-o-logo that gave the orange turd the idea that Canadians want to join the US to pay less tax. That’s true for rich guys, but not for the average joe. The US tax code needs change, but not the change MAGA turd is about to implement.

O'Leary turns my stomach. I have not turned on my TV since I watched the Jets losing!!! But when there's a clip of that skunk on here I hate the sight of him.

Congress should dissolve itself. It now serves no purpose. It is in charge of oversight. With the cabinet confirmations, we are assured that it has failed. Dissolve it and get rid of it. Start new.

Rep Kingzinger over here inspiring my daily "stalk my electeds" call. Thank you sir! The material is RICH, so it's nice to get a reminder of one good concrete thing. I pick one per day, my rep doesn't even ask my name anymore 😆

Not sure that numbers that don’t have context are real meaningful. I would like to see context. Ie # constituents, bills presented, passed, contributions to constituency, and roi calculations. Etc. .

I’d say cut every GOP members salary COMPLETELY! They have abandoned their responsibilities by allowing musky & his minions to control the nation’s purse strings & is allowing the dissolution of congressionally approved agencies, departments & positions.

People need to know how much they're adding to the deficit? exactly what Trump DEMANDED, about 4.5 to 5 trillion whereas he demanded it in the form of a blank check, and just to suspend the debt ceiling, OMG He wasn't president yet, and I wish it never happened,election interference, bought actually

I completely agree with you. As a lib who spent most of his life in a northern blue state that got 70ish cents back for every dollar sent to the Federal Government. Screw these red states needing the money from the well off states. Let poor red states raise taxes to self support.
