Former Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers (D-Pa.) has pled guilty to stuffing ballots for multiple Democratic candidates. Myers represented Pennsylvania’s 1st District for less than four years.

Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) told reporters Monday that he supports raising the age for buying semi-automatic rifles and is open to an assault weapons ban.

Democrats and police have steadily drifted apart since then-Sen. Joe Biden sponsored the 1994 crime bill. In the decades since, the party has declared war on police.

Former Florida Congressman Allen West is no stranger to controversy. The outspoken conservative rose to prominence during the Tea Party wave of 2010.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki told reporters that President Joe Biden understands the “passion” behind pro-abortion protests. But that’s not all.
