By timing her resignation for 1/6/2026, Marjorie Taylor Green @RepMTG ensures she reaches the 5-year service mark required for a congressional pension, w/ 2 extra days. She started 1/3/2021. When she turns 62 in 2036, sheβll qualify for an annual pension starting at $8,717.

Taxpayers beware: billions of dollars of pork in the form of earmarks were tucked in at the 11th hour as the Senate is working to advance four full-year funding bills. We found 2,880 earmarks totalling $5.25 billion for the current fiscal year. https://t.co/NvnIuqrUyi

The obvious tax policy question is whether states with overly progressive income tax systems will adapt to the new normal. They should, but probably will not.

Itβs amazing how many people are discovering that tariffs make us poorer, reduce consumption, and slow the economyβ¦ and think thatβs a good thing.
