.@PeteButtigieg: If your party has been systematically against unions, against a higher minimum wage, against paid family leave, against overtime, then just because you found Hulk Hogan and Kid Rock and put them on a stage doesn't make you a friend of the working man. The substance actually matters

This is your yearly reminder that if you’re not in the mood or don’t have time to carve a pumpkin this year, you can put the skulls of your enemies outside and place tiny candles inside them.

Since we’re all about “fairness” now, I look forward to #SCOTUS ruling that it’s illegal for colleges to take legacy into consideration in admission decisions. #AffirmativeAction
