That takes a lot of chutzpah to try to sneak in a raise for themselves. Thank God for the internet and people on the ground reporting in real time. 20 years or so ago, this would have all been passed and most citizens wouldn't know about all the pork for a few weeks or months later.
Yes, I know the internet predates 2000, but I don't think as people were paying attention to politics in 2000.
I can't say I'm not enraged, but even though it was chump change (25 mil) comparatively to the other crap, that one would have been an insult that could put me over the limit. Have to vote these demons out this Nov.

I unanimously vote to give myself a raise. Damn. Didn't work.
Trump actually agreed about funding for the JFK centre, mentioned he was okay with it, in the briefing today. Was originally 35M, and was cut to 25M.
