They also discuss what’s next for Democrats in America, how this moment in history is a pivotal turning point for our elected officials, and how your public service commission may impact your wallet. They also briefly touch on Chad’s distaste for the ongoing “return to 2016” trend making its way across your FYP.Before we get into it, we have some pretty exciting news to share this morning: Pretty Furious has officially joined The Siren!
