People expect comedies to be hits with 1900s plots and they don't even choose the really unique plots. Remake THE ? MOTORIST in which a motoring couple run over a traffic cop and escape into outer space

It’s been an odd, frustrating, yet motivating time running for Congress in Virginia this Midterm cycle. But we as Americans can’t let partisan courts throw away the democratic will of the people. I’m Jason Knapp, and I’m running for Congress in VA-01 to restore the balance of power back to us.

House Republicans need to be on the record. Trump’s illegal war of choice with Iran is jacking up prices, making the world less safe, and making Americans' lives more difficult. Joined @alivitali.bsky.social on MS NOW to discuss why Congress deferring to Donald Trump is a deadly decision.
