Trump falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo, Sister Norma Pimentel, of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, then cut all federal funding to Catholic charities in South Texas. EVERY Catholic should know about this before they vote.

Telling people to buy fake Christmas trees so we can make room for AI data centers is so tone deaf and dumb. My favorite tradition is going with my kids to pick out the tree, bringing it home, tending to it. I’ll take tradition + supporting farms > data centers all day
Fox tells Americans to buy artificial trees so Christmas tree farms can be used for data centers: "Everybody needs to get on board."

Fun Fact: The single largest driver of premium spikes since 2018 isn’t the ACA — it’s Republican sabotage of the ACA’s risk pool. In fact, the CBO found that repealing the individual mandate alone increased premiums by roughly 10% every year. Republicans didn’t just predict a

The best part about the big election wins in Georgia and Miami was the comforting proof that some of us – even in red states – still haven't lost our goddamn minds.

Yet another national media figure who doesn’t realize Adelson/Sands donated money to nearly every single member of the Texas Legislature bc of CASINOS 🎰 🎲 Not Israel. Casinos. No one will do 5 mins of research. 🙄 #txlege
Crockett’s main opponent, the little preacher guy, has taken tons of money from Adelson, who is Netanyahu’s closest U.S. ally, so it’s kind of a wash, but Crockett’s voting record on Israel, which she wants you to look at, is extremely favorable to Israel.

For the first time since WWII, the US is not on our side in Europe. It has sided with the aggressor against UKR and EUR security, seeking to mediate with Russia. The US no longer sees itself as NATO’s leader and treats Europe as a strategic target.

Is there one example of Talarico doing a “smear campaign”? He welcomed here to the race and said he wouldn’t attack (which is a mistake btw, but he’s not smearing her) #txlege
Jasmine Crockett has been in this race for less than 4 days. Talarico has nearly had 4 months and has launched an aggressive smear campaign against Crockett before she even entered. Unfortunately, he’s decided to spend all his money on New York City and dc consultants many of

Do it.
Moscow’s hired guns keep repeating that we can’t use the $300bn of frozen Russian assets in Europe and that doing so would be “unprecedented.” Except… it’s false. Without even going back to the Cold War, the U.S. confiscated about $1.7bn from Iraq’s central bank after the 1990
