Talarico: I used to teach middle school. I always say that teaching middle school is the best preparation for politics. It’s a great training ground. It’s come in handy in this campaign already.

Pritzker: These days, it seems like all the pundits and the naysayers, they want to say, well, kind of an endless loop of debate about the future of the Democratic Party. Are we socialists? Are we moderates? Are we conservatives? They want to divide all of us.

Look, I don’t think we should draw these false and rigid divisions and paint a picture of a fractured party because it’s not true. We have a fight that we are in together.

Yeah, there are some differences of opinion, but they’re not so big. And I got to tell you, if there’s a divide in the National Democratic Party, then it’s the one between Team Fight and Team Cave…

Why are they?

So i have shared plenty of voicemails during the J6 stuff, including one wishing my 6 month old son would “crawl out into traffic and die.”

MTG didn’t care until it happened to her

Did he steal that too?

Talarico: My faith is central in my public service, and if you go back and read the New Testament, even if you’re not a Christian, even if you’re not religious, go back and see what Jesus spends most of his time doing. It’s not preaching, it’s not teaching. It’s healing. It’s healing people.

And that is what we are called to do, whether you’re religious or not, is ensure—ensure that our neighbors have the care that they need. And that is, that is gonna be the end result of this plan and the other health care policies that we’re gonna fight for in Washington: saving the lives of our neighbors, bringing down these costs for all of us so that we can afford to get by in this economy, so we can afford to fulfill our God-given potential.

That is the end goal. That is our North Star.

Ken Paxton appears to be wearing a $40,000+ Hublot gold watch while campaigning in San Antonio. Can’t even pretend to be a man of the people, Ken?

Finally a bit of good news

Garth Brooks & Trisha Yearwood are handing over a whole day of business at their bar to Dolly's books.

They’re calling September 25th “Dolly Day” at Friends in Low Places, their bar on Broadway in Nashville.

Every $1 on that register that day goes to the Imagination Library. Trisha said, Whatever the cash register says at the end of the day is going to Dolly's passion.

The date is 9/25, for "9 to 5."

And this isn’t a one time thing. It’s going to be an annual thing

Garth said, Dolly is proof if you spend your whole life loving, you will live forever. 💙

unpatriotic to wear this much petroleum during an oil crisis

If a parent or grandparent posted stuff like this, you'd call your family members and say it's time that we talk about what to do

"General LaNeve, who previously served as Mr. Hegseth’s senior military aide, has expressed frustration with Mr. Hegseth’s decision to block qualified officers for promotions and is concerned this will dilute the Army’s pool of experienced leaders, defense officials said."

it's weird how many posts here are about how to improve your physical appearance to increase your attractiveness, but literally nothing on how to be witty, charming, funny, intelligent, or any other attractive quality.

The populist moment in America has swallowed the right-left spectrum

It’s bigger than Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump…and it’s not ideological.

Ignore the pundits talking about DSA and MAGA those aren’t the real soldiers in the battlefield

[Mike Madrid @madrid_mike]

There’s a lot of new polling coming out of Texas and it’s showing that something extraordinary is happening.

But if you’re thinking about it as just a shift from red to blue you’re missing a much bigger moment.

Something generational is happening 🧵

As a campaign staffer watching this is painful

As an American it’s beautiful

Trump during the 2024 campaign on Venezuelan oil: “We’re buying tar from Venezuela and we’re refining it in Houston. It’s the dirtiest, worst oil anywhere in the world. And we’re refining it - so you can imagine what’s going up in the air.”
