Something Really Insane Just Happened In Congress, And You Probably Haven’t Heard A Word About It

My old chum and Upworthy colleague Mansur Gidfar ditched us to go work for some anti-corruption group that apparently is tired of “bribery, graft, and shenanigans” in the government. So they gave him a camera. Now he has a ridiculous power grab to share with you that you may have missed.

In case you are all, “Why should I trust what this random bearded youngster has to say?” — we’ve included all the sources of his data below.
