Waste Of The Day: Ex-Speakers Enjoy House Money

Topline: Congressional salaries and office space already cost taxpayers a bundle. Yet few realize that the speaker of the House gets to keep their office space, staff and budget for five years after retiring.

 

Dennis Hastert, the Republican speaker from 1999 to 2006, received a $4 million budget after he left office, and used $1.9 million of it, according to ABC News — $2.8 million in 2025 dollars.

Fauci Refuses To Take Media Questions At Protested Florida Speaking Event

Floridians gathered to protest Anthony Fauci’s two lectures at the acclaimed Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in Sarasota Monday, in a two-part rally across southwest sections of the state. The event demonstrates increasing public skepticism about Covid lockdowns and Fauci, lockdowns’ foremost champion.

 

Fauci refused to make himself available to media at the Florida event, another reversal for the famous TV and publicity hound. While Fauci retired in 2022, his wife was recently laid off by the Trump administration’s cuts to Fauci’s former agency, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

 

Five years on from unprecedented lockdowns, the evidence of their damage continues to grow. A new book documenting those harms for school children comes out on April 22.

 

The Florida event is the latest in a string of lectures Fauci is giving this spring to rehab his image and promote his book. Demonstrators held anti-Covid-vaccine posters just outside the building where the former NIAID director spoke before a sold-out crowd. One man in a Fauci mask wielded new Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s book, “The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health.”
