  • This is just a DNC operative channel

    In the promotional intro, the host claims to be a journalist. She then almost immediately cuts to citing Nicole Hannah-Jones and the “evils” of Trump. She’s an operative, this show is trash, this is NOT news.

  • The Amendment is bringing the 19th to Life!

    I was sad when the circus left town, but thrilled to see Errin step into the center ring! Yesterday’s episode with Tressie McMillan Cottom on being from the South resonated so deeply for me. Can’t wait to see how this season unfolds!
