Y'all watch Leanne Morgan's new special on Netflix! She's a real Southern girl: the funniest girl at the slumber party, the cheerleader who pulled you behind the bleachers to drink rum & coke with her, the one who saw the humor when we were young moms escaping our babies & diapers for a few hours.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

At least Oz showed some concern and reacted. He's sleezy, but not nearly as slimy at RFK.

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

Funny how that works when they are in front of a judge versus a camera!

Federal judge orders Trump administration to fully fund SNAP benefits in November

The ruling was in response to a challenge from cities and nonprofits complaining that the administration was only offering to cover 65% of the maximum benefit.

Hell no. We need every bit of reporting we can get. Without legitimate journalists, they can get away with everything.
