Either Dem's or Rep's doing this pisses me off. We are $20 trillion in debt hello we don't have money to piss away on their damn 5 star workcations.

Senate Sets Record for Travel Costs
that was 2011 and we were setting records at the time.
Some trips make it clear just how much spending goes undisclosed. When Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and a staffer visited Haiti in February 2010 to survey earthquake damage, for example, the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee reported that $25.14 was spent on the trip. The office of Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) reported sending two staffers to Haiti during the same period for a total cost of only $36.75. Other expenses for the group of bipartisan lawmakers were likely paid by the Pentagon and do not show up in the Congressional Record.

to be honest, i have no idea what they're doing in italy anyway for "official US business".
Taxpayers fund a first-class congressional foreign travel boom
that explains part of it but also says none of this travel is really accounted for. so while i agree we need to clamp down on unnecessary expenses and implement a per Diem of allowable expenses, to date we don't have that and i would think all sides abuse it. have you looked up prominent republicans also to see what their travel habits are and the conditions of their own districts or is this just to attack who you hate?
all that said - i think this spending is out of control yes and needs to be reined in. but at current, while "uncool" perhaps, it's certainly not breaking any rules we have in place for this.
I sure hope their plane is safe over the Atlantic.Also in the U.S. delegation: Reps. John Lewis, D-Ga.; Bobby Rush, D-Ill.; Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas; Barbara Lee, D-Calif.; Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y.; Hank Johnson, D-Ga.; Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio; Karen Bass, D-Calif.; Terri Sewell, D-Ala.; Frederica Wilson, D-Fla.; and Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio.
Democrats eat like savages. No table manners.
Idiot-gram, variety bigoted moron with head up his...(insert meme from 20 years ago here)
Children are tortured in cages at home and they go to Italy and eat at 5 Star restaurants.
Typical socialism.
If they quit eating at 5-Star restaurants, will you quit torturing children in cages?
They aren’tIs this part of the 6 week Vacation? Why would Taxpayers be forced to pay vacation costs for them?
Yes they are. This is an official visit.
Pelosi, Omar, other members of Congress to visit Ghana, US Army Africa headquarters in Italy
So it is not a vacation
Ignorance.Children are tortured in cages at home and they go to Italy and eat at 5 Star restaurants.
Typical socialism.
If they quit eating at 5-Star restaurants, will you quit torturing children in cages?
I don't believe anyone in this board tortures children, caged or free range.
Dems know they’ve lost the black votes and are in panic mode.Dimms are afraid that the black vote will push Trump over the edge in 2020, so they are trying anything they can for the black vote.
Shes black. It's to be expected.
Pressley is fat. Wow

So my tax money was wasted to fund a 5 star vacation for a bunch of politicians, did they fly first class on my dime too? /sarcasm
