House GOP Votes to Cut Austin's Salary to $1 in Latest Partisan Attack

House Republicans voted to reduce Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's salary to $1, reflecting the right-wing's efforts to target Biden officials.
The move, proposed by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, has little chance of passing the Senate but shows the GOP's willingness to politicize the military.
The Pentagon funding bill also includes provisions barring implementation of Biden's climate orders and requiring troops to get COVID vaccines.
The additions make the doomed spending bills even less likely to pass, as Congress approaches a government shutdown in 3 days.
Democrats accused Republicans of using the threat of a shutdown to "jam your right-wing ideology down the throats of the American people."
