Sigh...
I just... Really???
Modern-day Democrats have never been known to excel at "reading the room," but a group of "progressive" Capitol Hill staffers seem intent on proving the left's tone deafness with an amazing demand to Congressional leaders: they want to work fewer hours but still get paid a full-time salary.
You see, these poor souls are sometimes asked to work long hours and, gosh, isn't that unfair? It's only right that they be rewarded with lighter work schedules.
The group asking for this perk is called the Congressional Progressive Staff Association (CPTA), and they sent a letter to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) Thursday pleading with them to "consider adopting a proposal that would improve worker satisfaction, increase staff retention in Congress, and model a more sustainable approach to work on a national level."
That proposal? A 32-hour workweek when Congress isn't in session.

Hell, I would have LOVED a short work week at full pay. But I knew there wasn't a bat's chance in hell I would even have a job if I was stupid enough to push something like that.
And when you consider how 'well thought of' Congress is right now, along with the deep state, one has to wonder where their heads are at (other than needing windshield wipers for their belly buttons).
But I guess bureaucrats gotta bureaucrat, since they 'know' their jobs are secure.
Or are they?
We have been afflicted by such people since ancient times. Some petty bureaucrat, often a Greek slave from the conquered cities, serving the Roman Senate or emperor and possessing the same lack of selfawareness. Of course, they paid with their heads more often than not. I love reading about these situations, because it shows that the information is getting out and, hopefully, generating the proper response to such contemptible actions.
Let’s hope that DOGE separates the wheat from the chaff and treats the petty office drones just like the 15k pipeline workers that got laid off when FJB shut down the XL pipeline.
