Regretful MAGA, regretful comic legends, and the need for discernment in pursuit of systemic healing.

She Won: Michigan Used a Fake County Vote Bank In the 2024 Election

Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson is running for governor on an “election integrity” platform—perhaps if enough readers call her office, she’ll finally respond?
