No, they are not significant and surely she knows that. The majority of people who serve in the US Congress - including her - spend that much on a holiday night out to dinner with the kids and grandkids.

Unfortunately, pelosi is damned if she do and damned if she don't. Trying to be a responsible representative of the people in that environment with all of the opposition fighting to keep from paying money to the people who need it has got to be a frustrating position.

The powerful figures in both parties don't relate to nor fight for everyday people in this country.

They are non-essential and that have proven that in the last 4 years!

Hearing my family and friends respond to this with an emotionally loaded “at least it’s something.....” absolutely breaks my heart. There is so much more available to us, yet we are collectively conditioned to be grateful for crumbs.

It's evil alright...Maybe you're trying to disassociate yourself from the amount of evil you may be supporting. A little leaven leavens the whole lump...

📢ProgressiveCaucus: You must WITHHOLD your vote for @SpeakerPelosi until HR 1384 Medicare For All is on the House floor for vote. AND to promise to put her agreement in writing and publish it. Do NOT vote her Speaker in January UNLESS HR 1384 is on the House floor for vote.

Compared to $0, they are significant. Let's do what we can to make sure the Senate turns blue so there can be another.
