Lindsey Graham doesn't want you to know the name of his opponent but will try every last pathetic attempt to save his seat.

My name is Lee Johnson. I am a Democrat running to retire Lindsey. If you are with me I need you to share this and follow my account. Let’s end this nightmare.

This is why your Fox News-watching relatives think half the country supports Donald Trump. Notice Fox doesn’t turn the camera to the crowd. πŸ‘€

Just coming from a full day, with protests in the morning, and ending up with live music courtesy of Mule Variations at Sally’s, and walking to the T, I see these flowers in the Somerville night!

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

β€œI’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.
