Calling them "lawmakers" at this point seems like a stretch given our laws are now almost exclusively dictated via social media/EO by the executive. I wish I was kidding. Maybe "former" or "legacy" lawmakers is more accurate?
Maybe call them "chat", like a Twitch chat? Trump is already streaming from the Oval Office and blogging on Truth Social, and the chat reacts within the allowed boundaries.
Asking for an OIG investigation would be more reassuring if Trump were not regularly firing inspector generals, replacing them with loyalists, and then using them to investigate his perceived enemies.

legacy seems appropriate given their average age

How can America be a kakistocracy and a kleptocracy at the same time? We are that good.
