House Republicans moved to reduce Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg’s salary to $1, as lawmakers debate spending bills ahead of the government funding deadline next week.
The salary cut for Buttigieg was put forth by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and adopted by voice vote as an amendment to the 2024 Transpiration and Housing and Urban Development spending bill.
“Pete Buttigieg doesn’t do his job. It’s all about fake photo ops and taxpayer-funded private jet trip to accept LGBTQ awards for him,” Green posted on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “I’m happy my amendment passed, but he doesn’t deserve a single penny.”
The underlying bill needs to be approved by the full House and is unlikely to be approved by the Senate.

Did Greene seriously call someone out for not doing their job?
Something something projection, something, confession.
The people who are in committees with Greene have noted in the past that she basically doesn't attend them, unless the media is there, when she shows up just long enough to be disruptive and make the news. At which point, she leaves and they can get back to work.
The "every accusation is a confession" quote you're referencing has never been more accurate. I don't think Greene has the mental creativity to imagine that there are any people who are doing worse things than her.
Their plan is to cry wolf first.
It's like when their rocket surgeons (like baby hands) actually call Democrats "fascists". Often in the same breath that they are demonizing "antifa", i.e., anti-fascists.
No, we're "Anteefa", and we hold our meetings in the libraries on Wednesdays. We have cookies and juice.
