in a normal system the leftists would want to raise revenue through sharply progressive taxes, the center-left would want modestly progressive taxes, and only conservatives would be crankishly insisting on cuts to essential services. alas.

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.
