    That is a big problem…

    That can be fixed with a single fucking hotel for them they can use while in town.

    Or actually unfreezing the house and recognizing that there’s zero reason they can’t telwork from their home states as house Reps

    I’m still convinced the reason politicians are forcing gov agencies back to the office is they want to go back to DC instead of shitty backwater places they’re supposed to be representing.
