This hidden provision is so crooked and selfish, it doesn't even apply to US Representatives. Just US Senators.
Look at this new outrage. To open govt, we're retroactively letting 8 Senators sue for $500K each over having had their J6 phone toll records looked at. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

JFC is this bad. Straight up cash transfer to the shadiest Republican senators and an assault on the rule of law.
Buried inside the deal to reopen government is a provision that would give Senators private right of action to sue for millions in damages over their phone records being analyzed by Jack Smith's team.

They already won. Why would they bother to negotiate now?
Meanwhile Squeaker Johnson is busy trying to figure out how to end the shutdown without swearing in the new rep who will sign the discharge petition. Until Trump convinces Nancy Mace to unsign it, this is a big problem for them.

Called my both of my US Senators to express my opinion that they should demand Schumer and Durbin step down from their leadership positions immediately.
You can do the same by dialing the US Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121. An operator will connect you directly with your Senator's office.
