Van Hollen and Booker showing how representatives in government should be working for their constituents. I hope their aim is to be as annoying as possible until something good comes of it, but I worry Bukele will just arrest them and further erode the numbers we have in Congress.

    Yeah, like I said it’s mostly optics because a reasonable person should know this isn’t ok in general, but the common voter isn’t reasonable. At least that’s how I interpret it. Thanks for bringing up the specific number, too.
