This is the kind of thing justice is up against.
Leaked audio: Mike Rogers blocked the unredacted Epstein files to "protect" Epstein's friends
"You have to protect somebody who got on an airplane and rode with him... The court of public opinion would ruin their life for no reason... You don't want to hurt that person's career or reputation"

I've always been fascinated with Jesus' unadulterated open reply to a concern about another faith movement in MK. 9:40 "for whoever is not against us is for us". The world would be better if we lived this out.

The blatant racism is astounding! And we have to temer DEI to these racists?!
Young man at JD Vance’s Hendersonville, NC rally stands up from right behind the stage and charges toward the front, yelling “Release the Epstein files!”
Security immediately hauls him out.
Vance turns, smirks, and jokes that the guy must be an illegal immigrant (“one isn’t bad, right?” after claiming zero crossings).
They ran on draining the swamp and full Epstein transparency. Now any American who demands the actual files gets dragged out and smeared as an invader.
This will be everlasting legacy of the administration. x.com/atrupar/status/2112262…

We have failed as an entire culture if this isn’t Iowa State in all-black vs. Oklahoma State in all-orange.

He should just be more gracious to his racist attackers.
1. His tone. He's snarky and angry and lacking in grace. He's an easily ruffled pit bull of a man. He's not a man in full. He's not a man with much ego strength. He's weak, and his tone -- the petulance, the meanness -- is unbecoming of a United States senator, and in times past candidates would have been embarrassed to address a potential constituent this way.
2. His dishonesty. Tommy, who raises a good question but does a poor job on the follow up, didn't ask this question because El-Sayed is Muslim. He asked this question because El-Sayed has family, starting with his mother, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood. El-Sayed wants to turn this into race, and that should make voters wary. Race is the province of the stupid and the guilty and the politically unimaginative. It is what you resort to when you have no cards left to play.

The Bible IS silent on the issue of abortion. That is simply a fact. Now, you can derive principles from the Bible to construct a position on abortion. But the Bible is silent on abortion. No propositional statements whatsoever. And yes I know all about the womb verses.
James Talarico is lying in the faces of Texas voters.
TONIGHT: "The Bible is silent on the issue of abortion."
LAST YEAR: The Bible has "some subtle instructions for how to perform an abortion."

Fun Fact: if Ilhan Omar was in the Epstein files her home wouldn't have been raided today.

URGENT RECORDING BELOW: Despite MAGA liars claiming that James Talarico was a patient at Lindner Center of Hope in Ohio, and allegedly recording an employee stating that he was, I just got off the phone with the Lindner Center and they have confirmed that the whole story is a Giant LIE.

Ya’ll, I'm not cheering this. Nidal Hasan murdered 13 people and deserves justice.
To the “Christians:” Jesus was publicly executed by the state while a crowd watched. If you're counting down to the livestream, you're not the disciples in that story. You're the crowd.

FUCKING CALLED IT.
Three weeks ago, I told candidates across the country exactly what to do when Republicans start screaming SOCIALISM!
Ask them to define it.
That’s it.
Yesterday areporter asked JD Vance that exact question.
And what happened? The Vice President of the United States couldn’t give a definition. Started rambling about immigrants and transgender athletes?
Stop defending yourself against words they can’t even explain.
Make THEM explain them.
Watch what happens. lol
Hey, left leaning candidates across the country:
When your right wing opponent calls you a “socialist” during a debate…they will…don’t defend yourself…make them defend it.
Ask them a question:
“Define socialism”
That’s it.
Then sit back and watch them squirm..
Because republican morons have no clue what the word means….some “strongman” handed them a scary word and told them who to point it at…and now they repeat it like parrots!
So make them explain it to you…
“Define socialism…then tell everyone exactly what position of mine fits that definition.”
And give them all the time in the world.
Because screaming a word you don’t understand doesn’t make you informed…it makes you MAGA.
And the country can see right through that bullshit now…
