'Congress Must Act': Bernie Sanders Demands End of Filibuster to Codify Abortion Rights

"We must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country. And if there aren't 60 votes to do it, and there are not, we must reform the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes."

Merry Griftmas! Party With the Former Thug In An Airplane Hangar For Just $10,000!

Get ready for the Holiday Event of the Year, where the former guy will reprise his wife's dystopian Christmas decor, though it's unclear if it'll be blood-red Murder Trees or spectral Hell-on-Earth spikes. Also unclear: why they don't say it's a fundraiser for an unnamed recipient being held in a Naples airplane hangar; who would pay $10K for a photo with a monster; how many people he infected or killed after, it turns out, he hid a positive COVID test to spend a week brazenly gathering with fans and debating with Biden; and why these ghouls are still defiling God's green earth.
