With a government funding deadline looming, the biggest sin in the eyes of the party’s base, according to Democratic officials and activists, would not be losing to President Trump in a shutdown battle. It would be refusing to fight.

The Austin lawmaker says his faith fuels his vision of a Democratic Party that “fights back” against billionaires. Republican critics say his stances are at odds with Scripture.

Dear Wh*te Christians, If you're trying to place scores of racist comments into some "context" that will hopefully make them all less racist, there's a problem... and you're it.

Feel like I’m going insane with the revisionist history that Charlie Kirk fostered open debate. He chilled speech and his targeting of professors for wrongthink led to threats, harassment, and being forced out of their jobs. His legacy is chilling speech right now, about him
