The serfs lived a meagre life of bare subsistence and were subject to the...

On October 24th, leftist lawyer and porn star hobbyist, Michael Avenatti, tweeted out the words “punch back.” While the tweet was sent to Stephen King it seems it may actually have been meant for the woman he was sharing his apartment with.

Democratic Socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez' claims that she's unable to afford an apartment in Washington, D.C., until she begins collecting her congressional salary crumble under scrutiny, with records showing the 29-year-old has collected more than $6,000 from her campaign and reported having a minimum of $15,000 in savings.

After months of fostering an image as a working-class Democrat, Ocasio-Cortez told the New York Times shortly after her Nov. 6 general election...

She's betting a more centrist message will resonate with independents and moderate Republican voters she desperately needs to beat Republican challenger Josh Hawley, who...
