Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

I wish we weren’t in a world where people sang chants like that…

I also wish the IDF were only chanting about death rather than committing mass genocide and ethnic cleansing.

I decided to become a journalist aged fifteen after reading ‘1984’ and being appalled at the thought that governments could rewrite history. Orwell knew the USSR did it. Now China pretends the Tiananmen massacre didn’t happen. It did. I was there, and saw it for myself.

I’m not sure we could ever appoint someone who would please everyone. I’m okay with it but obviously results and performances will be the key to whether he succeeds or not. Go’arn Stoke!
