The president of Syria, al-Sharaa, has had one wife. Trump has had three.
And to ask "how many wives do you have?" shows what a rude, ignorant xenophobe Trump is. And that Vance found the remark to be the epitome of wit shows what an oaf JD is.

JD Vance: "I don't know if you saw this media circulating on social media, but the president met the president of Syria, al-Sharaa, in the Oval Office a couple of days ago, and he asked him, 'How many wives do you have?' Heh heh heh heh heh! Haaaaaa! Amazing comedic timing."

Kat A fans. This is what I mean when I say she is not running to win the district she is running in. Daniel Biss is, and it shows.
The third poll in a row shows our campaign out front, this time by double digits. We're pulling away from a crowded field, but there's still a long way to go in this race. Let's go!

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.
