Pelosi House ramps up perks like Peloton, liquor store while Americans scramble for baby formula

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi belatedly jumped into America's baby formula crisis on Friday, calling nationwide shortages "Unconscionable" and setting an emergency vote next week.

House members were alerted to two new perks this week compliments of the chamber's Democrat leadership: fully paid memberships to Peloton gyms as well as a brand new liquor and drinks outlet.

"Washington Dems couldn't be more out of touch," Rep. Drew Ferguson wrote as he tweeted out a new announcement by the House Chief Administrative Officer announcing a new "House Drinks storefront" in the Rayburn House Office Building where lawmakers and staff can buy beverages, wine and liquor.

"Whether you're hosting a meeting or an office event or just want to stock up on your favorite drinks, House Drinks sells water, soda, juice, alcohol and spirits," the announcement boasted.

Multiple members of Congress confirmed to Just the News that the Chief Administrative Officer has also decided to provide all lawmakers, staff and Capitol Police officers with free VIP memberships to Peloton gyms.

Peloton confirmed to Fox Business that the "The US House of Representatives is extending Peloton Corporate Wellness to all House staff and Capitol police." The new perks follow other benefits Congress has received - and in some cases abused - over the years, like a post office, a bank, and fat pensions.

The gym deal resonated all the way to the campaign trail, where Tennessee House candidate Robby Starbuck decried Washington's tone deafness.
