[@sinkhole_of_happiness]

Elon Musk, who has been tapped by President-elect Donald Trump to lead a committee to ferret out government waste, wrongly posted to X that members of Congress are trying to vote themselves a 40% raise. A continuing resolution put forward by Republicans leading the House Appropriations Committee does attempt to allow an automatic congressional pay increase - which has drawn blowback from some members of Congress - but the maximum possible raise in 2025 would be 3.8%, not 40%. As the CRS report notes, “The maximum potential January 2025 adjustment is 3.8%, which would result in a salary of $180,600, an increase of $6,600.” Again, some legislators don’t think they should get any raise. Rep. Jared Golden, a Democrat from Maine, vowed to oppose the continuing resolution if it included a raise for members of Congress. “Congress should be working to raise Americans’ wages and lower their health care costs, not sneaking new member perks into must-pass legislation behind closed doors,” Golden said in Dec. 18 press release. “If members can’t get by on our already generous salaries and benefits, they should find another line of work.” Source: factcheck org
