While you were working to save our democracy, Ted Leiu was dealing with this cluster of madness:

Rewritten in my snark style from Ted Lieu’s Twitter account this evening.

“In the uproarious realm of Republican leadership, we find ourselves in the dead of night, gearing up for a vote on the most ludicrous matters imaginable. Brace yourselves for the impending ballot, where we'll be deciding on:

1. Slashing the EPA Administrator's salary to a measly $1.

2. Chopping down the Director of the Bureau of Land Management's salary to a paltry $1.

3. Bringing the Secretary of the Interior's salary down to an astounding $1.

But why stop there? Since we're on a roll with these grand salary reductions, let's throw in a vote for the House Republicans' salaries to plummet to a humble dollar as well.

Judging by the baffling displays of incompetence exhibited by some of these appointees when queried about the most rudimentary aspects of their authority, I'd argue that even $1 might be too generous a payment for their services!”

This is absolutely ridiculous. What are those jokers thinking? They're nuts, just NUTS, I say!!! What about the impending shut down of the government in...10 or 11 days? Shouldn't that take precedence over this bull crap??!!

We're so lucky that your part of these organizations that are so very important. Your feed back is crucial to bring everyone's attention to what is really going on. If only the Democrats were as specific about these details as you are. Sigh...
