I am heartbroken by the tragic news that two National Guard members were shot near the White House today. My thoughts are with the families and everyone affected as we learn more. This kind of senseless violence has no place in our country.

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.
