Additional fact, not sure what became of it
Representative David R. Obey of Wisconsin sponsored an amendment to close down the then 78 Senate hideaway offices in response to a raft of sexual misconduct allegations. Congressional Quarterly Weekly Report Yoninah (talk) 23:10, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

Misleading "In popular culture" section
My personal opinion is that the quotation in the "In popular culture" section is accidentally misleading. The reference itself is fine, except that it quotes a *fictional* senator describing the traditions and usage of the Hideaways. Are the descriptions drawn from reality, or themselves fictional? Pyschologically, it's hard to not take the quotation as a reliable description of traditions and usage, but the reliability of the fictional quote is unspecified and unknown to me. I think it'd be better to remove the quote entirely, while leaving the work itself in, saying something like, In the book Woman First: First Woman, a companion work to the television series Veep, fictional former Senator Selina Meyer writes about the traditions and usage of the hideaways, and her experiences with them. I edited the article thusly, but it can easily be rolled back if people disagree. 199.0.200.235 (talk) 17:05, 4 October 2023 (UTC)
