house 01/16/2025 - 119th Congress
We're introducing the "Troops Before Politicians Act" to ensure accountability by withholding the pay of Members of Congress if our service members aren't receiving theirs due to government funding issues. This legislation prioritizes the financial needs of the Armed Forces over political stalemates, holding politicians accountable during lapses in appropriations.
