Feel-good story! No pay wall.

THE VOTE COUNTERS HAVE CHANGED HANDS-AND AMERICA SHOULD PAY ATTENTION

Arkansas, keeping it real.

It's okay to let kids read the atrocities, rapes & murders in the bible, but NEVER let them read To Kill A Mockingbird!

OH NO, it will twist their little minds into being ANTIFA instead of RACIST FUCKING ASSHOLES!

And turn little girls into FEMINISTS!

BRAVO, ARKANSAS!

Chris Murphy: "Republicans are boycotting negotiations to reopen the govt bc they're desperate to raise premiums on people by 75% in order to finance their tax cut for the wealthy. The other reason House isn't in town? They're about to have enough votes to mandate the release of the Epstein files."
