He thinks, because he gets to live here rent free, that it is his house. We need to remind him that it is OUR House!
Absolutely!

Kim Davis has been divorced three times, having been married four times to three different men. So much for the sanctity of marriage.

It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/JKPrElSF
Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.
Third Act Members will be at the event. Join us Floridians.
