Besides the benefit of getting rid of the 70- and 80-somethings, it has the bigger advantage of providing an incentive for parties to nominate younger people. If your party's members in Congress/Commons or the Senate are significantly older than the other party's, then you know yours are going to get picked off automatically over time, costing you votes and possibly your majority when in power.

No more Chuck "We wrote a strongly worded letter" Grassleys or Dianne "What state do I represent? When does my pudding get here" Feinsteins clogging up the party arteries and refusing to even look at younger party members' progressive ideas.

A modest proposal.

#Republican Sen #ChuckGrassley is guiding #PamBondi & is essentially testifying on her behalf in his “questioning” of her.
They are making a huge deal of so called operation “#ArcticFrost” - this was cell phone activity data retrieval from around the #Jan6 #insurrection including the phones of members of #Congress. The subpoena was discussed at the time as a wide net it didn’t specify Congress members but said all cells is the area, so, duh. The retrieval did not include message or call content.
