Bad news. No power and security systems aren’t working. I hope they get the power back on before nightfall.

I think 3 months is all they should be allowed to convene both Houses of Congress. Either 3 months in the dead of winter or summer. No heat or A/C in the chambers where they must stay until that days work in done. A hotel room, meals and a two way train or bus ticket to and from D.C. for the session. Pay for 3 months work. That is all they get from the Fed. Gov.
