The Navy may change the name of a warship to honor a brave black man who served honorably in the Pearl Harbor attack to the name of a cowardly draft dodger who is so ignorant he didn’t even know what happened at Pearl Harbor, according to his then Chief of Staff accompanying him on the visit

After a near miss from Beto O’Rourke followed by a tough loss by Colin Allred, Talarico has a real shot to win the Senate seat in Texas He needs A TON of help. The GOP political machine there is as corrupt as it gets But maybe Donald Trump shouldn’t have been so eager to dump Cornyn for Ken Paxton

Striking new poll of Texas Senate race: Talarico 45 Paxton 40 This is really notable: Talarico leads among non-college voters by 45-36 and among independents by 43-23 (!) Hard to imagine this is right but he's probably slightly ahead now. www.texastribune.org/2026/07/28/t...
