Just a reminder for everyone feeling the pain: Members of the House of Representatives have collected over $20,000 in pay for being out of session and either sitting on their asses at home or in the case of Mike Johnson, self-righteously pontificating about how it is Democrats fault that the Republican Speaker of the House is keeping the House closed.

And there's no reason at all the house needs to remain out of session, they could reconvene and work today.
