Well, they can take some comfort from an unexpected source.
Nancy Pelosi has compiled a list of music for them as they travel home.
(What a joy to have a Minority Leader with a sense of humor.)

Re: Facing the Music – Suggested Songs for Your Trip Home
As you go home to face the music of your vote to end Medicare as we know it, we know you’re worried about what your constituents are going to say…for good reason. Here is a suggested playlist for your trip:
Think – Aretha Franklin (1968)
Desperado – Eagles (1982)
Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word – Elton John (1976)
Hard to Say I’m Sorry – Chicago (1982)
I’m Sorry, So Sorry – Brenda Lee (1960)
You Can’t Always Get What You Want – Rolling Stones (1969)
You Got Another Thing Coming – Judas Priest (1982)
Mama Said – The Shirelles (1961)
Sorry (I Ran All the Way Home) – The Impalas (1959)
Cryin’ – Aerosmith (1993)
Who’s Sorry Now? – Connie Francis (1958)
Lost Cause – Beck (2002)
I Learned the Hard Way – Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings (2010)
Not Ready To Make Nice – Dixie Chicks (2006)
Bad Day – Daniel Powter (2005)
Troubles – Alicia Keys (2001)
When the music stops, you should try listening to the American people.
