Just announced on TV. Good, populist move I think. He said he has discussed the issue with security personnel and it will be okay.

So, will he go through the full body screener or Opt Out and request the enhanced pat down?

I agree. Good move.
Symbolic, but also saving taxpayers' money.

Symbolic, sure, but important to set a new tone.

Smart move.
I’m sure he will have all the security he needs while showing what an outrageous entitled spender Nancy was while she held that seat, and its concomitant role in the order of succession.

Fly commercial.
Democrat talking points: “means nothing if he doesn’t fly coach.”

Good for him. Sends a message on spending even if highly symbolic.
Pull all of Pelosi’s perks and force her to take the bus.

DC to Cincinnati is a fairly short flight.

C’mon, you know the enhanced groping is only for the common people.

Maybe, after they exorcise and fumigate it.

Great.
Just my luck to get seated next to some guy reeking of cigarette smoke.

Agreed. This is a smart move.
Next up, there should be a public vote within Congress to voluntarily take a realistic pay cut.

This was the first thing I wanted to see go, the personal flying “privileges” that Pelosi granted to the herself. I doubt anyone outside of those who closely follow politics will notice or care, but this is a first step in the right direction, IMO.

Ms. Evita Perone wanna be should have been doing that the whole time. Elitists are so disfunctional.

Very, very nice small step... What they need to do next is to reduce their staff and office budgets across the board...
