Summary
Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) warned Republicans against opposing Donald Trump’s nomination of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) as attorney general, stating that MAGA supporters would target their jobs if they break ranks.
Tuberville defended Trump’s right to choose his team, urging senators to “vote with President Trump.”
Gaetz, who recently resigned from Congress, is a divisive figure within the GOP, having faced FBI and House Ethics investigations over alleged misconduct.
Some Republicans are openly concerned about the nomination and are deliberating their next steps.
According to Wikipedia the congressional pensions started in the 40s.
That was almost a real time fact check! Well done.
When I really don’t know the answer to something new or interesting, I have to look it up. These are both fun facts to know.
This is what I was thinking of. I guess presidents did not receive pension until 1958.
