Not me. Muted or changed the channel.

That was awful. Can we really not handle 10 seconds of watching someone walk to the stage without filling the time with useless chatter?

Entire Palestinian City Encircled and Cut Off After Hit and Run Injures Israeli child Israeli forces began encircling the city of Ramallah on Sunday evening, imposing widespread road closures and a security cordon following reports of a suspected car-ramming attack near the Atarot…

Israeli forces surrounded and cut off a city of over 50,000 people today, as a punishment for a hit and run that injured a child in the West Bank.

The English-speaking media have been entirely silent on this instance of collective punishment, while Israeli sources openly admit to the crime.

Check out Bernie Sanders’ plan to roll out Medicare 4 All by including a new age group each year over the course of a handful of years until all are included.

I can't stop laughing. 😂

This person from Kansas City likes it just fine. Kansas City is a progressive island in a sea of red.

Sounds like chronic illness is a moral failing of government to care for its most vulnerable.

Not even 100 days in—and a nonstop comedy of errors—except none of it’s funny.

Thank you

Since when did the USAG control funding?

This is out of some sort of play book b/c a newly elected state senator in Missouri had pre-filed the exact same bill, SB72, right after being elected. It got a committee hearing in MO and was met with fierce opposition.
