“House Speaker “Kevin McCarthy has quietly implemented a pay raise for members (of Congress) that could be $30,000+ per person. It circumvents the Constitution by instead reimbursing their rent, utilities, & meals.”

PolitiFact rated this: Mostly False

PolitiFact says: The House changed its reimbursement rules, but it is misleading to describe it as a pay raise. Also, it was done on a bipartisan basis and would not be in conflict with the 27th Amendment.
