Last night I had a dream that a criminal invaded my home when there was a lot of people there. I escaped through a window and ran to my neighbor's house only to run into Geraldo Rivera who was walking toward me, holding a mic. I told him what happened and then I woke up. #Bizarredream

It’s a joke that Ciattarelli wants us to believe he cares about public safety after he’s spent years trying to slash police pay & benefits. He’s on record saying cops should earn less because he knows people with more dangerous jobs!
Turnout for Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday, Nov 4th.

As much as I love Diane Keaton in "Something's Gotta Give," I've always wondered how her character became such a successful playwright considering what we do see from one of her plays is pretty bad and not funny. And yet she's supposed to be hugely successful. Cough #RIPDianeKeaton
