@lovejoy Do u realize scalpers bought all the Austin tix that were $25-30 & now @SeatGeek & @VividSeats r selling them for $300 with a $105+ fee? Add tax & it’s abt $450. My 12 yo is a mess abt this and wants to give up allowance for a yr to pay me back. U r her fave. It’s wrong.

Republicans spent the past 2 weeks exaggerating & distorting financial ties between George Soros & a DA in Manhattan he’s never met.

Now they’re feigning outrage over the mentioning of actual financial ties between Harlan Crow & a Supreme Court Justice who he is very close to!
