Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
An important point from the article:
A Republican candidate is likely to fill her position, given her district’s lean, but all eyes are on Arizona in the upcoming election year with the state becoming one of the key swing states in recent election cycles.
"In this time when we need patriots to fight for a free and fair society ... I quit as it is very hard currently and not worth my effort financially. Thank you for paying for my TED talk."
Broken for whom
From what I gather she's rather conservative so maybe she's just frustrated with divided government in general. Who knows though, she could have been offered a lucrative job in the private sector.
Nah, she just feels like she reached her goals in ruining the government.
In her defense, once you have actually broken the legislature, to the point it is literally not functioning, where do you go from there?
Mission Accomplished banner waves in the background as SpongeBob and the freedom caucus save the city!

Usually a lucrative corporate boardroom position.
I'll bet she patted herself on the back for a job well done!
That's definitely possible
Well then maybe she shouldn’t stood there waving an American flag while letting some orange bully take a shit in the sandbox telling everyone it was fudge, the best fudge, yuuge wonderful fudge.
*Broken largely by obstructionist republicans and corporations.
Good riddance
A hopeful take: Maybe this is clearing the runway for voting "present".
She supports Jordan
In other words:
“Our work is done here.”
Thoughts and prayers
I've seen people similarly regard their scale as broken because it had a number they didn't like.
