Due to a new GOP-backed law, Tennessee is revoking driver’s licenses for immigrant residents who have LEGAL STATUS to be in the U.S. People are just trying to get to work and provide for their families. GOP is sabotaging our economy b/c they want to torment immigrants. 🎥 @attorneymartinez

This is just despicable by MS NOW, which has accepted stolen taxpayers dollars for 38 illegal ads. Give me a break with this bullshit statement too. So your hosts are on air all day saying this is illegal while you are taking the money and running the ads? Just gross.

'Then they came for the journalists, no one really knows what happened after that'
After The White House claimed for more than a year that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were making up "fake news" and creating fictional sources, here they are watching President Richard Nixon resign on television.

God bless great journalism and great journalists.
