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.

If you’d like to see stuff like this more often, you could Like Mansur and Represent.Us on Facebook. If you think it should be illegal for the people in charge of regulating Wall Street to accept piles of campaign money from Wall Street, you could click here and share this. Totally up to you though.
