    How about maybe pass a fucking budget instead of wasting time and money on this bullshit.

      What do you mean? They are. If we stopped paying Pete we’d have the current US debt payed off in about 149,052,132 years. Maybe add a few hundred thousand years for interest but I don’t believe that’s significant.

      But all the Republicans have is performative garbage.

      And this is definitely performative. The salary change would need to go through the Senate and there’s no way this passes. The House Republicans know this. They just want to “own the libz” by saying they’ll reduce some salaries to $1.

      It’s easier than actually doing work.
