James Talarico tells Jimmy Kimmel what he thinks Jesus would say on the floor of the US Senate about food assistance, Medicaid and deportations
“Jesus Christ is the most famous victim of identity theft”
“Scripture tells us that you can't love God and hate other people. You can't love God and abuse the immigrant. You can't love God and oppress the poor. You can't love God and bully the outcast.”
“I often wonder what would Jesus do if he visited the US Senate?”
“depart from me, for I was hungry and you cut my food assistance. I was sick and you kicked me off Medicaid. I was a stranger and you deported me and my family.”

When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote.
Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ to court for keeping critical files hidden.⚖️
The entire Democratic Party owes a massive debt of gratitude to Zohran Mamdani.
Before his rapid rise, the party was largely rudderless, suffering from a loss of direction, momentum, and self-confidence. By drifting away from the working class, the party naturally saw voters walk away in response.
Mamdani single-handedly corrected the course, bringing vital energy, ideological clarity, and an authentic connection back to the very people who had been left behind.
Without his influence, the party’s current standing would look very different.
First Senate Dem elected from Texas since 1988.
First Senate Dem elected from South Carolina since 1998.
And we're on the verge of the first Senate Dem elected from Kansas since 1932.
If you think this is a "typical cycle" we see in a midterm, I have a $5,000 check for you.
I've campaigned with a lot of candidates this year, but only Jamie Ager had me out shooting skeet and moving cows around his farm. Western North Carolina - and our whole country - will be better off with him in Congress. Congratulations, Jamie!
