Politics as we know it h as s died. Today is about good vs evil. You're either on the right side of protecting democracy for our children to enjoy the freedoms that we've had or You're on the side of evil pushing the envelope of regression and white supremacy.

Unrivaled in Philly! Doesn't get any better than this. Cloud 9 and KFC back at home.

Catherine O'Hara, the actress who played the mother in Hone Alone has passed. Today is not a good day.

Chapter 2 of the Dictator playbook for sure! We must stand with Don and fight to the end! Insane!
