Fetterman is a moderate Democrat who has broken with his party in the past to support some of Trump’s deportation efforts.

#Sundance has been a blur so far, but it's time to start sharing my reviews!
First, and most importantly, is my review of JOSEPHINE for @thewrap.com.
Beth de Araújo’s uncompromising tour de force is the highlight of this year's festival. Fearless and trailblazing; tough to watch, yet unmissable.

Not to take anything away from Brown but I wish people wrote up the actual victorious Jayhawker militia leader, James Henry Lane, the adoring way they do Brown
You want a bunch of John Browns? Because this is how you get a COUNTRY of John Browns
TOM HOMAN: “We’re going to create a database where those people that are arrested for interference, impeding and assault, we’re going to make them famous. We’re going to put their face on TV. We’re going to let their employers, in their neighborhoods, in their schools, know who these people are.”

Making maximalist demands while the party on your side - while it can use political leverage now to try and get *some* concessions - controls none of the levers of power is just an insane theory of politics.
