Oh yeah, their kindly mother is none other than Carol Kane.

I’m heartbroken to hear of the death of Alice Wong. She was a powerhouse of the disability rights movement in the US and on a personal level, generously gave her time to me over the years. I know she will be missed immensely by those who knew her and those who felt her presence online.

Speaker Mike Johnson today, besides maintaining the lie that democrats are fighting for free Healthcare for illegals, claimed that the democrats were also fighting for .5 billion for NPR and billions in foreign aid, ignoring the fact that Trump has pledged $40 billion to Argentina with no oversight.
