TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Mark Kelly: "This president, when he says things like 'third world countries,' what is he really saying? I think what he's saying is he doesn't want brown people in our country. And that's disturbing. It's un-American."

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.

Immigrants pay taxes.

Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the U.S. economy.

The problem isn't immigrants.

Global warming deniers and fossil fuel shills in the West spent decades supporting Big Oil’s attempts to kill the electric car.

Now, they blame ‘gender neutral corporate speech’ for the industrial decline they caused.

If you fall for their lies, you’ll fall for anything.

People want more affordable health insurance, not a savings account.

This is just a Republican bait-and-switch to repeal Obamacare for the 70th time.

Let’s get serious — extend the health care tax credits and open the government.
