Polling in Texas shows that GOP efforts to ridicule Talarico over his religious convictions as a Presbyterian seminarian have backfired, with voters viewing him as a person of good moral character—particularly when contrasted with his Southern Baptist opponent Ken Paxton, who obviously is not.

It may not be enough for James Talarico to win. But might it also be a sign of a change to come?

A year earlier, Pope Leo XIV put the contradiction plainly: “someone who says, ‘I’m against abortion,’ but says, ‘I’m in favor of the death penalty,’ is not really pro-life.”

not that you should expect anything more than rank idiocy from this pair of racists, but the idea that whiteness means a "high trust" society of "social cohesion" is some of the stupidest shit i have ever heard. these people live in a fantasy land that you could dispel by simply opening a book.

What has done much more damage to SCOTUS is the personal petty corruption of Justices Alito and Thomas about which Bari Weiss-directed CBS News opted to ask no questions whatsoever. Shameful.

ICE arrested the mom of a 9-year-old at a school bus stop in Austin, leaving him alone and crying. The video has profanity and is heartbreaking to watch, but it shows the fear/pain of what happened. This is evil. This is wrong. And it has to stop.

Holy sh*t. Sen Schmitt just accused Jack Smith of going to an Atlanta Hawks bball game with the implication that he must of also met with then prosecutor Fani Willis BUT Smith went to an Iowa HAWKEYES game in Maryland instead. This GOP clown show is a disgrace.

On this day in 1994, the Clinton administration's heathcare reform plan was declared "dead" by Congress. Over 30 years later, the US is still the only industrialized country without universal healthcare. This should be a national outrage.
