Must have gotten his cushy lobbyist job lined up today too.

I don't believe that to be the case. Green is stepping down after three terms, which is how it should be.

Boebert-types aside, the truth is that most members of Congress would earn more in the private sector than they would from a Congressional paycheck, especially when you consider the requirement to maintain two residences.

An actively serving congressman said "Our country is broken".
Did anyone else read that ?
The guy's a doctor and a retired army colonel.
Ah...but it's just "the other side", right ?
After all, we should have a perfect border bill (what we consider perfect). And if we can't get it, well f**k it, we won't get anything.
Yep....Broken in soooooooo many ways.

We don't need a new border bill.

If that means we have to put up some decent fences and patrol them, so be it.
P.S. Sent the party crashers back wherever they came from, and their wee bairns, too!

Perhaps. Me being facetious aside, my best guess is that he's tired of dealing with obnoxious Trump supporters in his district, as well as Gaetz, MTG, Boehbert, and their ilk in DC. Powerful committee chairmen like him just don't quit to spend more time with their families.
