But on Wednesday, after Johnson’s announcement, McBride responded with a post on X: “I’m not here to fight about bathrooms, I’m here to fight for Delawareans and to bring down costs facing families.

It’ll never end until Netanyahu is in jail and IDF soldiers face charges.

With all the shitty news out there, I’m begging the hackers to throw us a bone and release the files. I mean c’mon … we’re dying here.

Yes, let’s slow forest fires by stripping the Pacific NW of its major carbon sink instead of clamping down on BIG OIL … a solution that doesn’t even begin to deal with the reason for the major fires – global warming.

Back in the 70s and early 80s boxing was incredible. Ali was still a contender and Spinx, Fraser, Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin, Holmes and Durán lit up their weight classes like a Christmas tree.
