Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.

Canadian life expectancy is 3.3 years longer, and our crime rate is a third of yours.
Marco Rubio is against birthright citizenship. But Marco Rubio *is* a birthright citizen. Ted Cruz is against birthright citizenship. But Ted Cruz was born in Canada. He only got US citizenship by a birthright citizenship law because of his US mother. They are both shameless hypocrites.

Sending ICE Agents to intimidate voters at polling places, declaring martial law to try to delay or cancel the election, seizing ballots-As he gets more desperate, there's nothing he won't do to try to save his pathetic orange ass. ALL states should preemptively prepare to defend Democracy! 🇺🇸 ✊
This Administration is engaged in the largest criminal cover-up in American history. Todd Blanche cannot serve as AG. Full stop.
Mitch McConnell has consistently demonstrated questionable integrity. He is often referred to as "Moscow Mitch."
Aussies lose more to gambling than any other people on Earth - and 3/4 of our young people now see gambling as a normal part of sport. Push your MP to do what the Murphy report said was vital: ban gambling advertising. This site makes emailing easy. #auspol www.stopgamblingads.com.au?thank_you=true
Stop Gambling Ads
Australians lose around $31.5 billion a year to the gambling industry - the highest losses per person of any country in the world. Tell your MP to support a gambling ad ban.
