Barry Manilow, Marines, and the Supreme Court

Senate Democrats are pushing ahead with a resolution that would circumvent Alabama Sen. Tommy Tuberville's blockade on confirming military nominees.

With hundreds soon potentially able to call themselves marines, Tuberville has been granted a title of his own — "little bitch."

Barry Manilow says that the State Farm jingle he wrote is his "greatest hit" despite only receiving $500 for it.

So basically, he made State Farm billions of dollars over decades and he has the deductible for a six inch scratch completely covered one time.

Hundreds of Civil War relics were uncovered during the cleanup of a South Carolina river, including a sword blade, a wagon wheel, and cannonballs.

Tools rotting away at the bottom of a river, only to be unearthed 150 years later covered in thick tar? Sounds a lot like the Confederacy.

Sen. Markwayne Mullin threatened to fight the president of the Teamsters Union, prompting Bernie Sanders to say "Sit down! You're a United States senator — sit down."

Bernie's right. If there's one word to describe the work of the senate, it's "sit."

An independent accounting firm says Donald Trump's Truth Social platform is likely to shutter, having lost $73 million since its launch last year.

That sucks for him, but it is still one of the most successful businesses he's ever started.

The U.S. Supreme Court unveiled a code of conduct yesterday to address what was referred to as a "misunderstanding" about ethics.

However, the code doesn't include any means of enforcement, meaning it's about as flimsy as the rights of millions of Americans.
