AOC: I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care. I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

TOMORROW NEVER DIES as a concept is so bone chillingly accurate to today. Truly great movie.

Okay, so the thing is… Jennifer Lopez has never sounded better than she does in Kiss of the Spider Woman. I’m not sure how much studio magic is involved, but she sounds glorious. I don’t think we need to pretend she’s the next Streisand, but let’s not pretend the woman cannot sing.

Aside from losing many Democratic seats, Black representation in Congress will probably drop from around 14% of seats (nationally representative) to maybe 7 or 8% (not representative)?

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

BREAKING: Major clashes in southeast Chicago this pm.

DHS agents who crashed a car had eggs thrown at them. According to ABC7, they then fired pepper balls at local residents. It’s now a scene of flying rocks & tear gas.

Chicago was never a war zone. But Trump’s militia is turning it into one.
