Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Mikie Sherrill took Jack Ciattarelli to the woodshed in the #NJGov debate tonight (his face says it all).

I had no idea about Ciattarelli’s role in getting people addicted to opioids.

I know it now.

They obviously had to look really hard to dredge these two up & nobody at all in EDVA was willing. What a mess she’s bought into. “Halligan was the only lawyer for the government listed on the docket until Tuesday, when 2 federal prosecutors from North Car entered their appearances alongside her.”

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session,

Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge.

Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings.

Gallego: This is an excuse

Every time that a Democratic politician is being interviewed, the first thing they should do is demand the release of the Epstein files.
