James Talarico: “We were not founded as a Christian nation. We were founded as a nation where you are free to be a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim or a Sikh or Buddhist or an Atheist. That’s the promise of America that we are this multicultural melting pot”

[Dr. Kevin M. Young @kevinmyoung]

The way Christians are contorting their faith into a farce just to avoid Talarico in favor of Paxton says everything about the demise of Christianity in America.

On September 11, 1974, a ten-year-old boy named Stephen Colbert lost his father and two of his closest brothers, Paul and Peter, when Eastern Air Lines Flight 212 crashed into a cornfield hillside just three miles from the Charlotte, North Carolina airport. Only 13 of the 82 people on board survived. In a single afternoon, the youngest of eleven children in a warm, intellectually curious Catholic household went from a boy surrounded by laughter and big family energy to a kid sitting in a suddenly very quiet, very dark home with only his grieving mother for company. The two leaned on each other in a way that most people never experience. Lorna Colbert held herself together not out of bitterness, but out of a fierce, quiet love, and Stephen watched that and absorbed it into his bones. He later said his mother was never bitter, just broken, and that her example became the blueprint he carried for the rest of his life. For years, though, the real weight of the loss stayed buried. He floated through prep school detached, unbothered by the things other kids cared about, because nothing felt quite real anymore. It wasn't until he went off to Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia that the grief finally cracked through, and it hit him hard. He dropped from 185 pounds down to 135 during his freshman year, barely eating, barely functioning, consumed by a sadness he had held at bay for nearly a decade. But something remarkable happened on the other side of that collapse. He found theater. He found improvisation. He found that making people laugh was actually a way to connect with human suffering rather than run from it. He transferred to Northwestern University, stumbled into the world of Second City, and slowly built himself into one of the most empathetic, genuinely funny voices in American media. He later reflected that losing his father and brothers gave him an awareness of other people's pain that allowed him to love more deeply and connect more honestly with what it means to be human. That is not a small thing. That is everything. Via Chronicles Through Lenses

Stephen Colbert aired his final show last night after Paramount fired him to appease Trump.

The Ellisons are now eyeing Warner Bros — and Trump's eager to give it to them.

His media takeover is happening in broad daylight. Here's what we can do about it.

Just a reminder, President Zelensky was a comedian before becoming the president. Stephen Colbert, your move.

@JesseBWatters You two are nasty gossip girls who think soy, tofu and vegan are insults about an honorable, intelligent, accomplished man who's a devout Christian. You worship an obese ignorant, hatemonger, pathological liar who wears makeup, has large breasts, and a huge diaper covered behind.

@TeamTalaricoHQ @fayossietaffy I guess we’ll find out conclusively in November if Texas really wants to support pedophiles…

they can almost pretend the Orange rapist isn’t one, but this time it’s cut and dry and adjudicated…

Texas either supports decent patriotic Americans or corrupt MAGAt pedo champions…

The family of a child who was repeatedly raped by a man who Ken Paxton let off with no new jail time is speaking out:

“The fact that Attorney General Ken Paxton allowed this man to get away with molesting and sexually abusing [our] son for three years is completely disqualifying.

Adam Hoffman could have faced life in prison. Instead, Ken Paxton and his office offered him a deal that kept him off the sex-offender registry and included no new jail time.”

In the Senate contest between Ken Paxton and James Talarico, both Republicans and Democrats should prefer a servant leader over a self-serving crook, writes the Editorial Board. https://t.co/7NpX4QdEu0

[James Talarico @jamestalarico]

Ken Paxton is throwing everything he has at us.

He’s called me a radical leftist. He’s called me a fake Christian. He’s even called me a vegan!

I’m an 8th generation Texan — I've been eating BBQ since before Ken Paxton’s first indictment.

I’m running for the U.S. Senate.

Billionaires have taken over Texas and taken over America — but together, we can take power back for working people.

This week alone:

DOJ opens an investigation into the woman Trump raped.

The White House is caught steering a $620 million contract to Don Jr.’s firm.

The Pentagon hands out a $10 billion contract after Trump buys stock in the company.

Foreign governments are caught funneling hundreds of millions into a random JPMorgan account tied to Trump’s “Board of Peace” with no oversight.

It’s just Thursday.

The corruption isn’t hidden anymore. It’s happening out in the open.

If you get a payout from Trump’s January 6 slush fund, California will tax it at 100%.

People who assault cops and overthrow democracy don’t deserve a taxpayer-funded payday.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Trump’s DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just announced that they are “drawing up plans” to block all international flights into blue cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

BREAKING: California will impose a 100% tax on payments distributed from Trump’s Jan. 6th “slush fund.”

@janevibespyaa Is this a real question?

[BigDaddy @strujillo075]

Astounded judges force Pete Hegseth's lawyer to concede that Senator Mark Kelly NEVER SAID 'disobey lawful orders.'
"He says you have a duty to disobey unlawful orders, right? That is something that is taught at Annapolis to every cadet, right?" the judge asked.

‼️ Alito just gutted the Voting Rights Act using fabricated turnout data — supplied by Trump’s DOJ

Experts call it deliberate. The racial voting gap has exploded since 2013

He declared racism over using numbers that prove the opposite

Democracy doesn’t survive a corrupt Court.
