If you are a member of Congress + leave, you shouldn’t be allowed to turn right around&leverage your service for a lobbyist check. I don’t think it should be legal at ALL to become a corporate lobbyist if you’ve served in Congress. At minimum there should be a long wait period. https://twitter.com/Public_Citizen/status/1134142264886857730 …

  Lol ted. Like Mitch would even allow something like that 10 feet from the floor. I notice how quiet you are about even the conflict of interests with his own wife. GOP hypocrisy never fails.

  But that would mean @senatemajldr would actually have to allow a vote on a bill.

  How about reducing the size of government to a point where lobbying is no longer necessary?
