And we have a new cover by Beefy! And it's a great song by one of my favorite bands too! Yay!
Another really good performance by her and her BF isn't half bad either, as are the other musicians in the video.
Of course it's worth checking out!

Patel got incredibly defensive when Schiff stated that Patel's needs to retain all documents, communications, etc... for after the midterms when Democrats will have subpoena and oversight power for the House and maybe the Senate. He is scared.
