Pathetic and dishonest, as always, by disgraced former Governor/Senator George "Felix Macacawitz" Allen. Also pathetic to see the Virginian-Pilot uncritically amplifying this crap. bluevirginia.us/2025/08/sund...

"The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."
Reality: that โextra revenueโ is higher costs paid by regular American consumers & businesses, and the โtax reliefโ is going to the rich not you.

So according to Abbott, Texas Democrats are committing a crime because they want the districts that Texas Republicans drew up 4 years ago to stay the same until the end of the decade like every other state. Those evil Dems.

Fox News couldn't let the Sydney Sweeney story die. Jesse Watters sent his assistant Johnny out to Union Square Park to talk to some random New Yorkers about what they thought about it. One man was memorable. I've edited out everyone else. Some heroes don't wear capes.
