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.

    You’re not wrong, you’re just focused on ancient bandits. Which is cool. They suck.

      True. Yahweh was just another tribal god which represented one small group, conflicting with hundreds of similar gods, and just happened to rise to prominence which caused those with faith to write fanfiction. Highlighting the origins show the absurdity of the whole belief, and that’s why I focus on it as a talking point.
