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.

Can someone explain to me why it takes 30 days to release the Epstein files, when a few months ago they didn’t even exist?

I am caregiver to my 88 year old husband. It is very challenging, and requires herculean patience. I'm approaching 80 and must take care of myself. Little understanding of challenges out there.

Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine includes a NATO-style security guarantee
The problem, of course, is that Trump can’t be trusted to uphold any agreement whatsoever.

It’s commendable Dick Cheney stood up to Trump’s power grab, but let’s not forget who & what Cheney really was. He nefariously expanded presidential power in order to falsify an illegal war to line his own pockets. Sorry to say, Cheney was a dirty politician.
