Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Both flights have now gone dark just after crossing into Gulf of Mexico, expect to see them pop up near Venezuela. Still likely show of force and not actual real strike.

More Evidence Submitted to Dismiss the Charges Against Kilmar Abrego
Friday night, we learned that the DOJ lied about the door being closed to Costa Rica. Mr. Abrego's lawyers feel that's enough to immediately dismiss on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds.

Elon Musk once called DOGE 'the chainsaw for bureaucracy,' but it has quietly ceased to exist well ahead of schedule, report says | Fortune
"But, the principles of DOGE remain alive and well: de-regulation; eliminating fraud, waste and abuse; re-shaping the federal workforce; making efficiency a first-class citizen; etc."

Venezuela airspace is still being avoided, extreme caution was advised on the 21st, and civilian aircraft reported Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference.
Venezuela made it clear to the US that they have a lot of man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) and will use them.
