Inside The 'Mad House' Of Congressional Disfunction

And in the book, we take you inside the room for a private one-on-one meeting between Marjorie Taylor Greene and Mike Johnson as she's trying to kick him out as speaker and he's trying to fund Ukraine. And the showdown between these two is pretty incredible. So I would encourage people when they get the book to read that chapter.

It's kind of gross, but they get paid $177,000, which I think to most people sounds like a lot of money. But D.C., it's extremely expensive to live in D.C., and then you have a family back home and probably a house or a mortgage or at least an apartment back home.
