There is a provision in the CR that requires House members to be advised by companies such as Google, X, etc., if they get a grand jury subpoena for records of members, and gives them the power to quash such subpoenas.

That is insane!
Are these actually poison pills to derail it?Quote:

This is to block any investigation of the J6 Comm or other Congressional committees or members.
This is not a Continuing Resolution

I have yet to speak with a single Republican Member of Congress who provided input on this bill.

They don’t care for our input.
One of my R colleagues today even said “We’re all just furniture.” It’s true. https://t.co/dHB0VgOeSf
Clown world politics. I hate the weak, go along to get along side of the GOP.

Pat Fallon's office has him as undecided and review the bill. A few phone calls there might do you some good. (202) 225-6673
This whole thing is wild to watch on X.
It's almost unbelievable how corrupt our reps are. Rs and Ds should both be supporting the scrutiny that's going on. This should be standard going forward.
btw, without X, we wouldn't see this

Don't throw tomatoes at me, but that's almost just a simple adjustment for inflation.
I just don't think it should be shoved into this "CR"

Agree. I have no issues paying them a decent salary. This is a micro droplet of the pork that is spent.

While it is so sketchy to throw it in these massive bills, Congress hasn't received a raise in 15 years. I'll give them a pass. Indexed to inflation, they hasn't been paid less since WWII.
Underpaying Congress just allows the bad actors to rationalize the corrupt behavior ("well I'm not paid much so I deserve this")

I'll agree to it as well, but think it should come with caveats and restrictions. Just like they do us.

Every Republican congressman these days a conservative and viewed as such....until they have to do congressional work and then immediately they're 'RINO's'. You know who else gets rich by being an elected official? All of them. From the top down. The best we can hope for is that they pick their battles wisely and vote for the things (or block) that they campaigned on.TexasAggie_97 said:
Johnson is just another swamp rat that is getting rich off the backs of the American taxpayer.
There is no such thing as a politician that isn't greedy in some form or fashion. Even if its voting for extra $$ to benefit their constituents but at the cost of other tax payers.

But speaker johnson has prayer breakfasts, and he quotes the bible.
Pressure to make this a short term CR till the new Congress at least. Get rid of the omnibus aspect and the pay raise (wholly unearned). Trump needs to be asked if he supports that pay raise and all these built in protections for political criminals apparently in it.

This CR is putting in a section that allows them to "quash or modify any legal process...if compliance with the legal process would require the disclosure of House data..."
House data = "any electronic mail or other electronic or data communication"

Not sure about that. Doge is all over this.

And if Trump agrees with Doge then he will let Johnson know to change it. Then it passes. But there will be a CR.
