Right-wing Christians and even the NRSC have lined up to mock James Talarico’s inclusive, open-hearted Christianity.
Some have even called it blasphemy.
But the Christ of the outsider and the poor is a threat to their political power.
My latest:

Faith and religion have always been double-edged swords. And there’s never been a shortage of people and institutions looking to wield belief as a cudgel against the people they don’t like and as a ladder to power.
Talarico’s humble insistence on a Christianity of the least absolutely enrages them
"Jennifer Schuessler has meticulously documented the destruction since the beginning... But there’s something about seeing a callow young man blank out when asked why he destroyed so much that really brings home the mindless destruction of this campaign." www.lawandchaospod.com/p/doge-bros-...
1. Trump was told a war could trigger oil shocks, especially at home, where the affordability issue is rapidly eating the heart out of his presidency. But risks were “downplayed,” the Times said, in favor of a plan to “decapitate” Iran.

I was telling you that all the Iranians have to do to win this war is exhaust Trump's will to fight with enough “economic pain.” But this war isn’t like invading Venezuela. While Trump might want to quit, and very soon, the Iranians are setting things up so he will have to ask for permission.
as someone who monitors right wing media, its under discussed right now but i can tell you conservatives are absolutely terrified of the way talarico is using religious messaging against them
A fundamental characteristic of megalomaniacs is their insistence on micromanaging their subordinates. There's a very real possibility Trump is picking some of the targets in his war with Iran.
getting serious replies to my Travis Kelce jokes so here are the facts of the case:
has Kelce's play dropped off: yes
is Kelce good enough to keep playing in the NFL: also yes
should Kelce keep playing football after the world's wealthiest, most popular musician wrote a song about his penis: no
Trump Raises Money Off U.S. Troops Day After Dignified Transfer
The fundraising email suggests giving money to Trump to stand with soldiers deployed to Iran War

We are bombing Iran to drive out their authoritarian government that cruelly suppresses the democratic will of its people. And if they won't surrender, we're going to cancel the midterms.

Donald Trump's aggressive campaign against wind, solar, and EVs has kept Americans dependent on foreign oil. Now his Iranian war has exploded the cost of gasoline. Here's why that's bad news for Democrats.
John Wick: Happy birthday dear. I got this for you
John Wick’s Wife: Oh… okay. Ten gold assassin coins. Again
We can't get Americans to give a shit about their own kids getting massacred in their own schools. Gas prices seem to be one of the few things which get them riled up.
Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event
Marco Rubio hanging out with Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio at the "Shield of the Americas" event, in case you were still thinking it had some sort of legitimate purpose
I know it's not as horrific as a tan suit, but the President of the United States wore a fucking ball cap to honor the return of the remains of U.S. soldiers killed in battle. That happened.
Class will always out.
Had to doublecheck the date on this
These are world class athletes (literally) with virtually no NIL money flowing their way - athletes who deserve our respect and admiration more than ones who enter the transfer portal looking for a couple more bucks. /end
USA Men? 3 medals in 40 years, despite being made up of NHL players. The Women's Collegiate Hockey Association NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP is on in an hour, and I can only watch on a pay to stream B1G+ service. 🤬 2/3
I am genuinely confused why Women's College Hockey doesn't get more attention than it currently does. USA Women's Hockey Olympic teams have medaled in EVERY Olympics since they were allowed to compete, made up of almost exclusively college athletes. 1/3
What MAGA sees vs. what the rest of the world sees
Here is a man with more simple moral integrity & courage that the vast bulk of Dem electeds & pundits.
Be clear, a big reason that Kristi Noem was fired as head of homeland security was because of protesters.
Keep protesting!
And bring a friend!
Bummer no livestream.
As per my last post - Since Texas publishes names, precincts, and the party ballot of every voter as public record, someone should compare Dem ballot voters against registered Republicans to see how intense the effort to get Crockett to win actually was. Just a thought for some wonk... #voteblue26
... because they thought she'd be an easier candidate to beat in the fall. Talarico still won by over 7 points. They are scared - and they should be. Let's flip this thing!
#FlipTexas #voteblue2026
AND I personally observed multiple Republican voters intentionally select to vote on the Democrat ballot - as per their own admission because they wanted to have Jasmine Crockett win the Primary... 2/3
As a poll worker, I am bound by oath to protect the privacy of an individual voter's selections in the voting booth. But I can share this - in my red(ish) county in Texas, Dem turnout in the Primary was 2:1 over Republicans. 1/3
Except - the county had little to no guidance, and also conflicting guidance, on whether to use old districts or new districts up to and past deadlines to publish sample ballots. SoS was dealt a mess by the Rep legislature (and DJT) with the off cycle redistricting to gerrymander for Republicans
