Rep. MTG announces resignation a couple days after becoming eligible for her Congressional pension, after making millions through illegal stock trades. FTFY.
She also became the subject of death threats from MAGA cultists. Being on the other side of things could be intimidating enough to motivate a career change now that she is rich enough to do whatever.
Wait seriously? Did she actually get her pension a couple of days ago?
My understanding is that she becomes eligible for the pension on January 3rd, two days before her January 5th resignation. I didn't fact check that, but that's my interpretation from the context of the statements.
