The Trump administration doubled down on grounding House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and effectively grounded all congressional delegations for the duration of the shutdown.

On Friday morning, Acting Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Russ Vought tweeted a memo indicating that all congressional travel — at government expense — was being suspended until the shutdown ends.

No this way is better, this way we get to see Nancy, etc., take or plan to take expensive junkets while the govt is shut down.

The first lady has no role in the budget talks.

[little jeremiah]

Has Melania boarded a jet for a vacation recently?

Nancy gets paid to negotiate and protect citizens and she is taking repeated junkets and vacations -Americans won't have much sympathy. Melania is not an employee, she is the wife of the President who himself has remained ready willing and able to negotiate.

[Constitution Day]

Does the First Lady have a legislative role in ending the government shutdown?

Oh, she doesn’t? Get over how it “looks” then.

[Dacula]

Michelle Obama to a tax-payer funded trip to Africa in June of 2013, before the government was shutdown, to the tune of $425,000.

[no-to-illegals]

Mooch probably spent ten times that amount. She hates America and Americans ya know
