Johnny Cash is an absolute icon. Cool doesn’t begin to describe him. He was definitely not “uncool.”

Johnny Cash didn't switch costumes with Elton John on SNL just to have some asshat call him "deeply uncool." I hate to even share this but the ratio is nice.

Left: Johnny Cash wearing a pink feather boa, a sparkly gold ascot, and gold glasses with pink feathers at the temples.

Right: Elton John in a black cowboy hat and leather jacket over a plaid shirt.

Mad respect for my @governor.pa.gov for coming out forcefully in support of our Commonwealth & its citizens against the illegal acts of a wannabe dictator. I especially appreciate how the governor repeatedly calls himself Commander in Chief of our state and what occurs within it. He was a great AG.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.
