Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff.
Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

If you see this going on, join in. The more we do this, the better.
Be relentless! They will NOT rest until we rest.
It’s like their avoiding their constituents 💁♀️
We were told that voting harder would save democracy. That trusting the system would fix it. That the institutions would hold.
We were lied to
Don't let them get away with this anymore!
These traitorous clowns need to go.
May this regime's demise be swift and severe.
Hypocrisy is rampant. It's been page one of the R playbook for decades. We can't stop the hypocrisy until we stop the R's...
We don’t need money in politics. We just need people to participate.

The base salary of the 535 members of Congress is $174,000.
Seems to reason there’s a whole lot of savings for tax payers just “right-sizing” Congress’ salaries.
Those folks don't work for the salaries. They "work" for the sweet, sweet fruit of being exempt from insider trading policies.
Lobbyist:
"Well, Congressman, here's a stack of cash and a draft of legislation we wrote."
Congressman:
"Thanks! You know I hate paperwork!! Thanks for sending a jet to pick me up."
Lobbyist:
"Oh, of course. Public transportation is for chumps!"
They both laugh
If you want to give additional tax cuts to billionaires then you take some hits as well!
All in all, the federal government spends about $92 billion annually on corporate welfare, which means that Congress could provide every household in the nation with an annual tax cut of about $800 by ending it.
Not be concerned.
They are required by law to meet a minimum of once a year. Starting salary is $174k which hasn't changed since 2009. So technically the starting pay has decreased with inflation, but the perks and deep pockets donors.
So, who is getting the money?
Criminal Trump, Elon Musk & the billionaire class.
Resist bot campaign I created just for this!
As with anything principals should be reevaluated so often, they might not be as righteous as you think them to be.
HAHAHAHAHA!
Srsly, think this shit out please before sending people out on a #stupididea
I hope that Republicans listen to you.
I used to live in your Congressional District when I lived in IL.
Republicans in IL were Moderate Right as I recall.
I met Senator Dick Durbin in 1996 in Lisle when he first ran for Senate for the first time.
I also met President Obama in Lisle.
If they say NO ask them why Elon Musk gets OURS.
They’ve already given up on the other $4 trillion and just added it to the deficit.
They’ll charge us tariffs and more taxes to pay for their cuts. Cut fed expenses will shift to state and local.
No one else is seeing any of that money. Congratulations on winning.
And the rich control both parties ….
🥱
No one was seeing that money before …. Other than left wing activists around the globe …. Which I don’t give two fucks about
Easy peasy.
Maybe you should post this on X-
Tell Elon what you know about this wasteful
Spending- cut their budgets!!!
I’m sure America will like this move!
And nobody needs to get fired!
The endless waste for thirty years, borrowing monies for a war machine that is obviously broken, massive tax cuts to those that could afford to pay taxes.
Does anyone believe Exxon would leave the US and its protections if forced to pay taxes?
When we spend a trillion dollars building a strike fighter that won't strike, we need to fix congress and the DOD.
What's missing from that chart, a trillion dollars a year in interest payments for the republican debt.
“If you won’t fight for us, at least stop using taxpayer money to fund a staff that no longer serves the people.”
Kentucky is finally free of Mitch rule.
