The media loves AOC. By the time she hits 40 she will be worth a half billion dollars. TV show, book tours, speaking fees, you name it.

I don't know about that. Sabotaging the Amazon deal was a massive betrayal of the voters in her home town, many of whom would have cashed in on this opportunity.

Those 25,000 Amazon jobs would have paid an average of $150,000 annually. That influx of capital would likely have transformed that area. Now? Bupkis.

This is no small thing, and it's going to stick to her like glue for the rest of her political career.

Really? When did that change kick in?

Congressional pension is a pension made available to members of the United States Congress. Members who participated in the congressional pension system are vested after five (5) years of service.

...

The current pension program, effective January 1987, is under the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS), which covers members and other federal employees whose federal employment began in 1984 or later.

So, a one-term Senator would qualify, right?
