President Trump announced last month that Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will head the external advisory committee, DOGE, which will “provide advice and guidance from outside of Government, and will partner with the White House and Office of Management & Budget to drive large scale structural reform, and create an entrepreneurial approach to Government never seen before.” Trump has said that the two will cut as much as $2 trillion in wasteful government spending annually.

Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY): “The phone was ringing off the hook today. And you know why? Because they were reading the tweets, the X, from @ElonMusk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and they were telling me that they were, that they were listening to them.. this shows the influence that President Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have in this process before they’re even in office.”

“They are paid $174,000.00 now. With a 40% increase it would be $243,600.00.”

It will be a COLA but is capped at 3.8%. First raise since 2009.

Think of the time Nancy has to read the bill as she recuperates from surgery....probably it would be the first bill she’s ever read...

As we all remember, the only way to know what is in a bill is to pass it, according to her.

Why would these people in DC get any raise? They’ve driven the country into a ditch and they’re now going to get a raise?

This s*** never seems to end.

My SS “raise” was more than offset by my Medicare premium increase.

Congress deserves a 40% reduction in salary.

They need a law which requires every congressman and Senator to read every page of a bill before they can vote to pass it. They need to initial the bottom and sign under penalty of perjury that they read and understood the bill before voting for it.
