He's a guy (those in question are usually still men, despite Marjorie Taylor Greene) with an ego the size of the Capitol dome itself, but a strangely fragile and insecure one. He'd run down his grandmother to get his mug on camera and tell the world his profound thoughts, but in private he can be strangely hollow and ignorant when the occasion doesn't call for prefabricated talking points. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl3o7Tc9xiI" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Imagine Ted Knight</a> without the lovable charm.That is a caricature, to be sure, but one that in many cases has become uncomfortably close to reality. The cause is not hard to find. For decades, large swathes of the American public have chosen to regard politics as a dirty business, and those who engage in it as scoundrels or buffoons. In so doing, they devalue the institutions that shape the civil society in which they live.To some degree, this contempt has always been present in American political culture, but it took off in 1981 when Ronald Reagan declared that government is not the solution to our problems; government is the problem. Since then, like a chorus of parrots, practically every Republican office holder has squawked this meme in unison. Eventually it became something of a self-fulfilling prophecy, as a glance at today's GOP will reveal.Consider the case of Doug Lamborn (R-Colo.), who is now subject to a <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/aide-sues-doug-lamborn-coronavirus/2021/05/13/851b83ba-b434-11eb-ab43-bebddc5a0f65_story.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">lawsuit</a> from a former staffer. The suit claims that the staffer and other office colleagues were "recklessly" infected with coronavirus by the COVID-positive Lamborn, who lied to the House physician about his contact with staff and others. Further, he coerced the staffers not to discuss with anyone their contact with COVID-positive persons. The suit further alleges that the staffer was fired for objecting to all this.If that weren't enough, the suit also states that Lamborn's son lived rent-free in the basement of the Capitol. Another fascinating revelation is that the congressman uses his staff members as gofers to do personal errands like moving furniture to his vacation home and requiring his employees to help his little Johnny fill in federal employment applications and answer job interview questions. Lamborn appears to view our national Capitol like a Holiday Inn: "Kids stay free!"Behold the Congressman from Hell: not only a petty tyrant and socially dangerous misanthrope, but a chiseler and hypocrite to boot. By his lights, the federal government is evil, but when it comes to getting your kid on the gravy train, all those rock-ribbed principles about limited government go out the window. In truth, I encountered numerous Republicans during my career in Washington who railed against the federal government and devoted all the ingenuity of Hades to cutting federal benefits, but whose entire adult life was spent on the federal dime.Lamborn is not the only Republican to endanger his staff and others. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), a charter member of the Congressional Knucklehead Caucus), reportedly "<a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/07/29/gohmert-aide-alleges-staffers-are-berated-for-wearing-masks-office-is-regularly-full/?sh=5037858c77f2" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">berated</a>" staff members for wearing mask.Another revealing twist in the Doug Lamborn saga is that while lying to the attending physician, he also omitted mentioning that he slept in his congressional office. The practice of bunking in one's office is exactly what Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/05/13/852359650/pandemic-revives-calls-to-ban-lawmakers-from-bunking-in-their-offices" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">warned about last year</a> when she complained the practice risked spreading coronavirus to employees and janitorial staff.There is another aspect to this beyond the potential of spreading disease. Fifty years ago, the notion of members sleeping in their offices was unheard of. The first time it came to my attention was in the 1980s, when a then-obscure flat-tax zealot named Dick Armey started the practice. He was widely considered a kook for doing it. Now it is all the rage, with upwards of <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/05/01/these-politicians-are-sleeping-in-their-dc-offices-to-save-money/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">100 members so engaged</a>, most of them Republicans, including House minority leader Kevin McCarthy.[ca real est scam?]They typically plead poverty. So do <a href="https://www.npr.org/2021/03/17/977441157/landlords-struggling-to-stay-afloat-see-lifeline-in-covid-19-relief-for-renters" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">millions of American renters who have faced eviction</a> during the pandemic. But the very Republicans who have no problem with the unauthorized mooching of government space for a free overnight have been very hard-line about denying rental assistance or an eviction moratorium in the various COVID relief bills. Apparently, poverty bites much harder at the $174,000 a year level, <a href="https://www.congressionalinstitute.org/2019/02/21/how-much-do-members-of-congress-get-paid-2/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">the current congressional salary</a>, than it does for an Uber driver or waitress.There's also the undeniable "Ick!" factor in play. House janitors, many of them women, are obliged to clean the offices late at night, potentially seeing the occupant in various stages of dishabille. As Rep. Speier <a href="https://www.npr.org/2020/05/13/852359650/pandemic-revives-calls-to-ban-lawmakers-from-bunking-in-their-offices" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">notes</a>, "During the height of the 'Me Too' movement in the House, there were stories about members in their pajamas talking to staff. It's abnormal to do that."Beyond that, how mentally healthy is it habitually to sleep in the same cramped office you just spent ten or twelve hours in? Is living like a 22-year-old tech start-up entrepreneur a good look for people whose <a href="https://www.senate.gov/CRSpubs/b8f6293e-c235-40fd-b895-6474d0f8e809.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">average age is 58</a>?Then there are the legal issues. What Lamborn, McCarthy, and the rest of them are doing is misappropriating federal office space for private residential purposes. At the very least, the rent they do not pay should be imputed as income on their federal taxes.Why even bother to bring up such seemingly trivial matters when there are far bigger issues affecting the country? Simply put, the people I have described are deciding on those issues. Politicians like Lamborn or Gohmert or way too many others I have seen over the years, lack the judgment or ethics to make the proper choices. If we are facing major surgery, we certainly will try to get a specialist, if possible. Even when hiring a plumber, we'd probably read the online reviews. Yet millions of Americans vote out of ignorance or blind partisan loyalty.The tyrannizing of staffers is another factor that gets too little attention. Many Americans write off congressional staff as hacks or drones and figure that, since they signed up for it, they deserve whatever they get. As constitutional officers, all members of Congress have wide latitude to run their offices as they see fit, and Congress as an institution has been reluctant to intervene. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_Accountability_Act_of_1995" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">The Congressional Accountability Act</a> (under which the ex-staffer of Lamborn filed the suit) was an attempt at some mitigation of workplace harassment, but it remains mostly toothless.This issue matters: since the Newt Gingrich speakership, congressional staff has been progressively de-professionalized. House committee staff, where most of the legislative work gets done, has grown smaller in total personnel, even while those same committees <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2014/07/01/house-staff-cuts-communications-press/11425389/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">load up on additional press secretaries</a>. This means fewer legislative experts and more people like Sean Spicer and Stephen Miller—who, before their illustrious stints with Donald Trump, were congressional press secretaries.What self-respecting professional would willingly subject himself to humiliating or even dangerous antics on the part of their employer? Increasingly, only young zealots, caught up in the holy crusade of "the movement," would want to work for some bellowing imbecile like Matt Gaetz or Jim Jordan. And even the zealots usually burn out after a few years and leave.The moral of the story? If these congressmen run their little office fiefdoms like incompetent and half-insane despots, is it any wonder that American politics writ large is broken? And what do you think it would be like if they had unfettered control of the country?Perhaps the most depressing conclusion is to concede the possibility that these congressmen from hell just might be an accurate reflection of the people who elect them.<a href="https://www.commondreams.org/author/mike-lofgren" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">Mike Lofgren</a> is a former congressional staff member who served on both the House and Senate budget committees.

</div><div> Wednesday, Rep. Chris Collins (R-NY) was arrested for insider trading. Collins allegedly shared non-public information about Innate Immunotherapeutics, an Australian drug company developing a drug to treat multiple sclerosis.When that drug failed a clinical trial in Australia, the company’s stock plummeted. Collins is accused of telling his son and his son’s father-in-law about the disappointing results ahead of the public announcement, leading them to unload stocks before the drop. They avoided losing $768,000, according to the indictment.For years, Collins’ relationship to Innate raised concerns in the Capitol.  In 2017, Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.), called for an investigation, citing Collins’ cozy relationship with the biotech drug company after its value dropped. The New York Republican held a 16 percent stake in the company.“Innate plummeted in value by more than 90 percent literally overnight. This follows the company previously suggesting a great response to its drug and touting that it stood to generate as much as $3 billion in profits in this country alone,” Slaughter said in a statement.“This raises very serious questions as to when Congressman Collins knew about the drug’s performance and who is responsible for the suspicious trading before the drug’s failure was publicly known. Did Congressman Collins come here to make money for himself or to represent his constituents? This development only raises more questions, and we need to get the answers. It cries out for an investigation.”Collins, worth $66 million, apparently urged Republican colleagues in Congress to invest.“If you get in early, you’ll make a big profit,” Collins reportedly <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/finance/339688-lawmaker-loses-millions-on-pharma-stock-pitched-to-colleagues" style="text-decoration-line: none;">told</a> House Republicans last summer.At least six Republicans appear to have been convinced by Collins’ pitch (though at various times they claimed to have arrived at the stock purchase through media reports).They were:1. Tom Price, who served as Secretary of Health and Human Services. During his confirmation hearings, Price was accused of taking advantage of a special deal on Innate stock only available to a select number of lawmakers at a discount <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tom-price-trump-hhs-pick-innate-immunotherapeutics-investment-2017-1" style="text-decoration-line: none;">offered</a> by Collins.2. Rep. <a href="https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/politics/texas/article/Culberson-stock-asset-may-prove-political-11251640.php" style="text-decoration-line: none;">John Culberson</a> (R-TX): The Texas Republican claimed he heard about Innate from media reports, but as the Houston Chronicle noted, it’s not clear which. At the time of his purchase, Innate was described as “a tiny pharmaceutical company from Australia that has no approved drugs and no backing from flashy venture capital firms.” The Chronicle pointed out that Culberson’s past investment history does not square with his purchase of biotech stocks and his opponent, a research physician, has wondered what led Culberson to invest, “since at the time he bought it in January there had been no published research articles or significant clinical trial updates on the drug, known as MIS416.”3. Rep. Mike Conaway (R-TX) is another Texas lawmaker who bought large shares in Innate. He does not appear to have purchased Innate stock at a <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/congressman-bought-pharma-stock-pushed-bill-that-could-help-it-and-bought-more" style="text-decoration-line: none;">discount</a>.4. Rep. Doug Lamborn (R-CO) sat Health Subcommittee of the Committee on Energy and Commerce at the time of his stock purchase, raising a possible conflict of interest, reports the Daily Beast.5. Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) sat on the subcommittee as well.6. Rep. Billy Long (R-MO) reportedly became far more active in the stock market in 2015. Long sat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, which addresses health policy.According to the inducement, Collins was shocked when he was informed about the drug’s failed trial.“Wow. Makes no sense. How are these results even possible???” he wrote to the CEO of Innate.After entering office in 2013, Collins worked on passing a provision that would speed up the drug approval process, <a href="https://buffalonews.com/2017/06/27/2047519/" style="text-decoration-line: none;">reports</a> the Buffalo News.</div><div>

<a href="http://coloradoindependent.com/128957/lamborn-spearheads-coal-industry-push-to-mine-near-streams" target="_hplink" style="">From The Colorado Independent's John Tomasic.</a>

Colorado U.S. Rep. Doug Lamborn is pressing to lift restrictions that keep coal mining companies from conducting operations within 100 feet of streams.

The Colorado Springs Republican has sponsored legislation with Ohio Republican Bill Johnson. Their bill is about two kinds of waste. It seeks to prevent “waste of taxpayer resources” by thinning regulations meant to prevent “mining waste” from running into mountain water sources.

HR 2824, the “Preventing Government Waste and Protecting Coal Mining Jobs in America Act,” would revive a rule made during the Bush administration designed to thin regulations but stalled by lawsuits and by a Ken Salazar-headed Interior Department sympathetic to environmentalist concerns.

Lamborn heads the House Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources, which is debating his bill today. He is a staunch advocate on Capitol Hill for the fossil fuel industry. He opposes policies aimed at battling climate change and has consistently advocated against international agreements intended to reduce carbon emissions. The mining industry is one of his top campaign contributors, the <a href="http://reporting.sunlightfoundation.com/2013/Mining_interests_want_to_mine_near_streams/" target="_hplink">Sunlight Foundation reports</a>.

Increasing amounts of U.S. coal is <a href="http://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/07/10/1222451/-With-Republican-Rep-Doug-Lamborn-at-the-helm-subcommittee-hearing-praises-coal-blasts-regulations" target="_hplink">mined in the west</a>, nearly 40 percent by some estimates coming from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming and Montana, where companies employee something like 15,000 workers.

But Americans lean increasingly on cleaner sources of energy than coal, particularly natural gas, which modified power plants can use to replace coal. Now much of U.S. coal is being <a href="http://trib.com/business/energy/officials-set--year-study-for-washington-coal-trains-from/article_d34df8fe-d7be-5f3d-8194-66006a22428d.html" target="_hplink">shipped overseas</a>.

But coal still accounts for nearly 30 percent of the carbon emissions released in the United States. And getting it out of the ground continues to transform enormous swaths of land, eliminating whole mountains and burying streams. Runoff carries mineral acids, heavy metals and sediment to rivers and watersheds far from the mines.

A Sunlight Foundation blog post offers a concise version of the long history leading to the Lamborn bill — “another episode in a highly partisan saga,” writes Sunlight’s Nancy Watzman. She quotes National Mining Association president Hal Quinn.

“This bill accomplishes the important task sometimes lacking in public policy: it balances the needs of the economy with the needs of the environment.”
