But The Felon President is spreading the "facts" about this long standing way to cast your ballot. And we recap the controversy with the Mayor of Wausau and their drop box drama. Next. critics of Gov. Gavin Newsom's social media presence don't really understand the definition of satire...or irony. If that wasn't enough, our museums are a bummer, because of all that "history".

If you want to read the actual truth, click here. Finally, the Justice department is going to be handing over portions of The Epstein Files, but before you go thanking Republicans, take a listen to California Congressman Rob Garcia on who should be getting the appreciation.
