I have long red hair and a bushy red beard and I'm a dirty commie. I love dogs and enjoy brewing beer. I support Arsenal FC. I often get mistaken for a conservative because I criticize liberals a lot, but I am, in fact, a communist.

ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Letβs call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Now they're destroying the schools rather than accept they have been desegregated (except where, for example, in Alabama they still have not). The GOP has been hurting poor whites to hurt Black folks ever since LBJ advocated civil rights.

Weβve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.
Letβs start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):
I would think Jesus stands a decent chance provided he gets fit and gets some minutes. Havertz and Γdegaard both seem like question marks for fitness though obviously not minutes provided they're fit.
