Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

How a Judge Tells a President to F**k Off

Migrant detainees should be in a maximum-security El Salvador prison "for the rest of their lives," Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says — despite a recent CBS News investigation that found more than 75% of those sent to the prison had NO criminal records.

ELECTION RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, have been pushing anti-LGTB policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship.
Voters just ousted all three of these city councilors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by a local LGBT group.
