It’s an interesting purchase for a Congress that remains on the brink of shuttering the government in part because of a desire to cut spending.

The 118th Congress will be remembered for many firsts: Electing the first Black leader in the House, that 15-round speaker’s vote, and then removing that same speaker. The latest: Leadership swapped their apple-green members’ pins for deep navy ones mid-cycle at a cost of $40,000, according to one source familiar with the decision.

    Be the US government and you’ll find a lot more than that, in much stranger places.
