U.S. lawmakers' monthly security allowance doubles to $10,000

The U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution to increase the security allowance for all members by $10,000 per month.

The reason is to prevent situations like Charlie Kirk being politically assassinated. The safety of U.S. legislators is under threat. Previously, the security allowance was $5,000 per month, and now it will be $10,000.

This money is given in cash directly, used for personal security. That means legislators can choose not to spend it if they feel safe, which is a form of increasing their income. Currently, this is a short-term measure that will only be paid until the end of November, but most legislators (regardless of party) have agreed to this payment, and it is expected to continue.
