I get that MTG’s pension vests Jan 3, 2026. But that pension pales in comparison to the money she could grift by staying in her job until her term is up. I can’t figure out why she’s leaving a year early. She’s worth $25M. The pension is peanuts.

“Plead the Fifth” regarding what??

Maxwell has exhausted her appellate process. SCOTUS has rejected her.

Regardless, she lied with Todd Blanche so her credibility is dogshit unless you get someone like former AUSA Maurene Comey in there to question her.

Now that MTG is feeling all soft, and free, and easy, it might be a good time to ask her why before even being sworn-in she was one of the 10 members of the House who met with Trump in December 2020 to discuss “Stop the Steal” plans, and the details of the convo….

Breaking: The House voted unanimously, 426-0, to strip a provision in the funding bill that allowed senators to sue the government for $500K if their phone data was searched without their knowledge.

The provision was designed for GOP senators to sue over the Jack Smith investigation.

Alright, alright. I did not expect this at all. Happy to have been wrong about this not passing the House.

To recap: My law firm represented Black and Latino voters in striking down Texas' new congressional map.

The dissenting opinion mentions George Soros 17 times and me and my law firm 3 times (all about how connected to Soros I allegedly am). I have never seen anything like it.
