It’s an interesting purchase for a Congress that remains on the brink of shuttering the government in part because of a desire to cut spending.

The 118th Congress will be remembered for many firsts: Electing the first Black leader in the House, that 15-round speaker’s vote, and then removing that same speaker. The latest: Leadership swapped their apple-green members’ pins for deep navy ones mid-cycle at a cost of $40,000, according to one source familiar with the decision.

    Doesn’t fit on thicker chains because the clasp is to small??? How does this apply to a pin or broach or whatever this ugly turd of a government collectable is.
