Did James Talarico tell his grandmother that he thought he might be gay? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Has James Talarico been in a 15 year mentor-protégé relationship with gay billionaire Peter Thiel? Oh, no! That was JD Vance! Did James Talarico pose in drag? Oh, no! That was JD Vance!

Abandoning Ukraine will be a stain on the United States for the rest of time

Screenshot of a statement by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv targeting critical energy infrastructure, including the CHPP-4 power plant. Zelenskyy says a residential building was also damaged and caught fire, warns of further Russian missile attacks, and criticizes the lack of advance warnings from Ukraine’s partners. An accompanying nighttime photo shows flames engulfing part of a multistory residential building, with debris scattered across the ground.

Tapper: "How worried are Republicans about Paxton losing? Well, we've apparently reached a brand new campaign stage where the VP is insinuating that the Texas Democratic Senate nominee, James Talarico, is gay ... not exactly the sign of a party convinced they can win on their record or ideas"

When is a dictator most dangerous? When he sees his political magic wearing off. So be optimistic about the midterms, but take nothing for granted. Vote, vote, vote. Pay for truth-telling media. Support voting rights groups. And get set to resist if Trump tries another coup. My latest newsletter.

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

Elon Musk has spent at least $276 million since July to boost Republican candidates, a record-breaking sum. That’s just 0.028% of his total net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.
