Lindsey Graham is our current senior senator. We deserve a better representative than him in Congress.
If Democrats take control of the Senate and the White House after the election, then they have to pack the Supreme Court. It's the only way to avoid the disaster of a 6-3 conservative majority.
Instead of going out to a party this Halloween, you should do something fun — and safe — with your friends.
