MTG is trying to change her image/brand just a little to appeal to more people. This girl has inspirations for something bigger. Watch as she tries to connect with a larger base who voted for Trump but hate whats happening. Plus she found out how high her & family’s insurance premiums are going up.

We rail against organized religion sometimes, I do, because of the horrible people who abuse it and use it for their own political purposes and advantage

These clergy/ministers who are exercising the right of free speech and getting hit by cowardly ICE agents are deserving of lots of respect. ✊

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Trump Destroys Another Guardrail of Democracy: Inspectors General | Common Dreams
