Benny Johnson took Russian money to spread his right-wing lies. He claims he was duped. So is he spreading right-wing lies for free now?

Well-known right-wing influencers duped to work for covert Russian operation, U.S. prosecutors say
The accusations mark the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about the Kremlin's attempted interference in U.S. politics.

Klobuchar eviscerates Schmitt: "For a U.S. Senator to have false information and imply based on a confusion … and imply you're in another city that you were somehow involved that day in what was happening in Georgia and then call you a dirt bag is something that deserves an apology."

The US is going to force Canada to grow up and act like a real country or it’s going to force it to give up some (more) of its sovereignty.

Sen. John Kennedy made an ass of himself at the Jack Smith hearing. He asked Smith if he believed in the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. He asked Smith about the disappearance of union boss Jimmy Hoffa in 1975. Smith remained polite while this asshat performed his reprehensible routine.

Buying fast food for my family, it’s over $50, which feels like a lot. Not unreasonable from the restaurant, but like going out to dinner, not grabbing something cheap. So I looked up fast food prices, and they’ve risen faster than inflation. Add that to the why people say stuff’s expensive list.
