On behalf of their “buddies”…
How much did this hubris exercise cost the US taxpayers?

>300 #House lawmakers were reimbursed ≥$5.2M for #food & #lodging while on official business in Washington last year under a new, #TaxpayerFunded prgm that doesn’t require receipts.
The prgm, which kicked off last yr after a #Republican-led House panel passed it, was intended to make it easier for lawmakers to maintain separate homes in DC & their home districts.
An earlier version of this article said that Rep #MattGaetz (R-Fla.) was the reimbursement program's top spender for 2023. That analysis was based on data released by the #House as of last week. But additional data The Post reviewed Tuesday showed that Rep #JackBergman (R-Michigan) was reimbursed for more than Gaetz was.
But critics argue that its reliance on the #HonorSystem esp given [#HouseRepublicans dearth of honor] & lack of #transparent record-keeping makes it ripe for abuse.
The reimbursement scheme’s lack of receipt requirements is a “ridiculous loophole … Clearly it becomes very difficult to tell whether or not it’s a legitimate payment & whether it’s proper,” said Craig Holman, a lobbyist for the good govt group Public Citizen.
Democratic members of the #House select subcommittee on the coronavirus pandemic defended Dr. Anthony #Fauci ahead of Monday's hearing about the #US’ #COVID19#pandemic response, policies & transparency.
The representatives blasted #Republicans’ claims of Fauci’s involvement in starting [for real they had to say this] or covering up the pandemic as a “dangerous” & “cartoonish” narrative.
“The Select subcmte has become an echo chamber of #extreme narratives intended to vilify our nation's #PublicHealth ofcls. Rather than tackling forward-looking reforms to strengthen public #health data collection, improve future testing & contact tracing capacity or address the inequities that we laid bare by the #pandemic, our majority colleagues have spent time & #taxpayer dollars fishing for evidence to back up their most extreme members’ claims about Dr. Fauci,” said #Democrat Rep Raul Ruiz.
Last year, the American Wild Horse Campaign (#AWHC) released an explosive investigative #report that detailed the devastating and deadly consequences of the Bureau of Land Management's ( #BLM ) cash incentive-based adoption program, known as the Adoption Incentive Program ( #AIP ). The AIP pays individuals $1,000 per #animal to #adopt up to four wild, unhandled BLM #mustangs and #burros a year.
Numerous #adopters have been identified on their second round and even third round of #AIPAdoptions despite #disposing of their previously adopted #animals in #KillPens. One group of 12 individuals brought in $82,000 in #taxpayer dollars thanks to this #scheme.
At a certain point the province is going to have to remove the mayor of Surrey, and that’s when shit is going to get real interesting over there.
The city is wrong. The province can direct it to do whatever it wants because cities are not constitutional entities, merely creatures of the provinces.
#Politicians should have to post a bond to cover the full cost of a lawsuit they initiate "on the public's behalf", refundable on success of the suit, forfeit to the entity otherwise.
«The #LA Kings will play '24 preseason game free of #taxpayer dollars in the bettors' favourite next city to get an #NHL expansion team... & it's not #QuebecCity
... #Quebec Premier #François#Legault defended his gov's decision to pay upwards of $7M to subsidize the games saying, "it's important 2 invest in #leisure, whether it's sports or culture"

46,562: the number of #taxpayer funded pints drunk in the #HousesofParliament. All because food and alcohol for #MPs and #Lords is subsidised. Last year, the alcohol bill cost us £500,000 including 2,800 bottles of bubbly.
Please sign the #petition now to stop taxpayers money propping up the bars in #Westminster
The #GOP is a fatally dysfunctional party that's incapable of governing. At this point, #HouseRepublicans push to remove the Speaker as soon as he does something, anything, that they don't like. They are unable to provide stable leadership, and the result is chaos, and #taxpayer-funded paychecks for Representatives who accomplish nothing for the American people. Voting to put them in control is an act of insanity.
"King Charles III is to receive a huge pay rise from the UK #taxpayer, according to government plans to boost public funding of the #monarchy by 45% from 2025.
Details of the increase, which comes against the backdrop of a #CostOfLivingCrisis, were contained in a review of royal #funding published by the #Treasury on Thursday. It revealed the #RoyalFamily’s grant is due to increase from £86m to £125m"
There is only one thing society has to fight for
So many people attack and insult each other for their political and other beliefs....
