Senator McConnell regrets his role in placing a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin in the Oval Office.

Russia is a terrorist state.

If you think Lindsey Halligan is an epic dumbass remember that before she had this job her job was to make the Smithsonian more racist, by taking out accurate descriptions of slavery.

Private equity firms have been buying up single family homes for years and making them short term rentals, thereby reducing available housing stock. They are creating the housing shortage. Immigrants are not buying homes; they can't find reasonable rentals either. Blame greedy private equity guys.
