      Congress got hit by the most powerful lobbing group of all. The daughters of thousands of public servants who couldn’t get a VIP ticket to the Eras Tour.

        Right? Not surprising that it took a billionaire artist for them to notice and take action.

          IMHO, it wasn’t her wealth. They’re like Micheal Jackson fans from the early 90’s, or Beatles fans from the 60’s. Simply denying them a ticket to her biggest tour was all it took.

      No, the Biden admin is just doing a lot of good things like this. Or in this case, at least the current DoJ.
