Noting the congressional pension is based on service time, it kicks in at 5 years and her retirement date - Jan. 5, 2026 - will be the first business day after she passes five years since her first swearing in. bsky.app/profile/heli...
Any idea why she's quitting then? Her statement isn't very coherent (big surprise), although it would make more sense as an explanation of just not running for re-election.

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

These two men chased a disabled homeless woman out of a mostly empty industrial area parking lot where she parked her car to try to sleep.
The face of evil doesn’t look like a movie villain. It just looks like people like this. Laughing, smug, self-assured, as they attack people trying to survive.

Calling them "frameworks" isn't better than calling them "deals" or "agreements." The news is that this is wildly illegal under both US domestic law & multiple international treaties. Not reporting that in the headlines & ledes is a choice. Others remain readily available.

Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.
