Breaking | I’m hearing reports that Kamala Harris is considering Indiana Mayor Jerry Gergich as a vice presidential nominee. Gergich, in his fifth term, is an engineer and ordained minister who could help Harris appeal to blue collar white voters in the Midwest.

Live look at Maduro's grip on power in Venezuela:

To the nation of Canada, I don't think 16-year old me ever thanked you properly for the Crash Test Dummies. Sorry for the delay.

What I like about being a Democrat is that, unlike Republicans, we get rid of our kooks. stltoday.com/news/local/col…

If you want to start your weekend happy, here's the online fundraising status for David Dempsey, the treasonous J6 clown who just got 20 years in jail. Turns out attacking countless police officers doesn't make you a pity case. Best of luck with the corrections officers BTW.

Terrific opportunity for any student interested in ferns. A-list instructors, great places, and a chance to meet your life-long colleagues.
