An American informal gender-neutral plural for members of Congress, combining 'congress' with 'folks' instead of the gendered 'congressmen' or the clunkier 'congresspeople'. It has the easy, populist register of someone deliberately avoiding formal or gendered language, typically encountered in casual political commentary or journalism.
Those congressfolks need to hear from their constituents before they vote on this.
