Sen. Angus King with the facts: The size of the Supreme Court is not fixed in the Constitution. It's up to the Congress. It's changed seven times over our history.

TRUMP: "Mothers who love their daughters give them massive amounts of birth control pills, because they know their daughters are going to be raped on the way up to our southern border. Think of that. True story told to me by the Border Patrol. Think of how evil that is."

Media needs to understand that this isn’t “partisan wrangling.” This is an authoritarian attempted overthrow of American democracy, and it’s happening in plain sight.

“If anybody tells you the 2020 election was not stolen, they are lying to you.” If Republicans win the majority, Madison Cawthorn promises to charge Dr. Fauci and conduct a “forensic audit of all 50 states” to make sure they win and get “Donald Trump back in the White House.”
