Brave Steve Scalise To Combat 'Wokeness' Amid Looming Govt Shutdown

With a government shutdown looming in less than two weeks and the 2024 Presidential election in November, GOP Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise is springing into action by going after (checks notes) "wokeness." That sounds about right since House Republicans just defeated their own funding bill yesterday.
