In recent years I became a Seltzer Guy. Not sure if it's an East Coast thing, or because my delicate elderly system can no longer handle sugar or calories. Either way, cranberry lime is the honest truth

[Andrew Kimmel @andrewkimmel]

As if you needed another video to prove Candace Owens lacks any intelligence to be taken seriously, here she is on ⁦@joerogan⁩ talking about how she believes climate change isn’t real. Good on Rogan for pressing her.

It was how Giuliani raised his profile to launch his bid for mayor.

He has been agitating mobs about white greivance his entire career. The specifics change but the tactics and project remain the same.

Biden including a $15 minimum wage in his stimulus plan is huge

Biden moving to abolish the tipped minimum wage and sub-minimum wage for people with disabilities in his stimulus package is even bigger IMO
