📌Win or lose, if Willie Nelson endorses you, you are the better man.
MAGA, I ask again: Do you ever get tired of defending this petulant, whiny beta male?
Oops the centrist consultants painted themselves into a corner again

Ossoff says that Mike Collins has "hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office"
BREAKING: Willie Nelson endorses James Talarico: “I've gotten to know James Talarico. He's a good man, who will be a good senator for the state of Texas. Please vote and vote for James Talarico.“
I don't take tips on virtue from a man who used a pic of his stillborn child for a GoFundMe campaign for his children's burial garden named "Lincoln’s Place" when the project was never built, and Ogles repeatedly refused to disclose what happened to the tens of thousands of dollars donated.
they’re not a fucking band. let’s stop calling them the cornell 7 and call them the cornell rapists
This truly is horrifying. Not only is he unlawfully spending OUR money on a political ad, the whole point of the ad is that roughly half of the country consists of enemies who must be conquered.

Guy who never stops talking about trans children has thoughts about grown men who seem to be pretty obsessed with trans children
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last mo.JD Vance obliviously decries "grown men who seem to be pretty obsessed with trans children" as an attempt to smear Talarico
Republicans are laser focused on making life more affordable for you.
James Talarico: ICE shot Wilber Perez in the back while he was making food deliveries, leaving him on a prison cell floor with a bullet lodged in his back. How does paralyzing a DoorDash driver make anyone safe?
a bill which provided a strong footing for civil liability and punitive damages that attaches to Flock itself as well as the civil jurisdiction in question would do wonders for reining this kind of thing in.
Drew Harwell@drewharwell.com · 3w agoFive cops in Indianapolis were just criminally charged with abusing Flock to spy on their ex-wives, their wives' ex-partners and women they met on duty. Audit was triggered by us at the @washingtonpost.com, the prosecutor said. From last month: wapo.st/4yfNHng
Other news organizations should leave the White House. They can of course still cover the administration--almost none of their coverage depends on being there physically. But they shouldn't stay there, raising their hands dutifully in the briefing room, as if it's business as usual.

Who will show more commitment to, and solidarity in support of, First Amendment values: members of the White House Correspondents Association, or opening acts for Ed Sheeran?
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 4w agoPresident Donald Trump, in a clear violation of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, says he is banning MSNOW, CNN and Politico from the White House.
Okay we all know what to do with this. We promote the hell out of the interview.
The New York Times@nytimes.com · last mo.“Jimmy Kimmel Live” has decided against broadcasting an interview on Thursday with James Talarico, the Democratic Senate candidate in Texas, and will instead post it on YouTube. Kimmel said that the show made the decision because the FCC had “threatened” ABC over “traditional editorial decisions.”
“im not interested in your childrens genitals” is just such an easy thing to say
So effing disappointed in @ginafortexas.bsky.social . Mocking pronouns is anti-trans. I expected better from you. #SMH
Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social · last mo.Gina Hinojosa responds to Greg Abbott's ads hitting on her votes on transgender people by saying "My pronouns are mom/Texan and soon-to-be governor." www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u1g...
Democrats should be at the microphone right now noting that this is a Hatch Act violation that they'll be pursuing in January. I don't care that the nation's become numb to this shit. It's still illegal and if Democrats should run against it and then act to crush it.
