Congress is the Hardest Hit in the Shutdown
Military families can't bury their fallen loved ones. American families can't visit our national parks. Medical research has been halted. But no one has been as hard hit in this shutdown as Congress.
Everyone is feeling the pain of this government shutdown, but no one feels it as bad as Congress:
House lawmakers are picking up their own towels at their private gym, which has remained open during the government shutdown.
The gym was to have been closed, but the Architect of the Capitol decided to keep the facility open because several House members store personal items inside.
No one is there to check members into the facility in the basement of the Rayburn House Office Building, which is open exclusively to current and former House members.
Members don’t only have to pick up their towels — they have to reuse them for their showers, because there is no more laundering service.
Why is that America hating, Muslin in the White House torturing our hard working members of Congress in such a horrid way? Is there nothing that can be done??
