TEXAS senate candidate Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social (grandson of a Baptist preacher): β€œI put my hand on a Bible and swore an oath to the constitution, not the other way around.”

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

No ethical doctor or hospital would ever turn away any patient, illegal, uninsured, or criminal who was in medical need.  We would never even think to ask these questions.

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.

Here are three more factual statements:

1. 25,000 of Mike Johnson's constituents are about to lose health care

2. 27,000 more are about to have their premiums skyrocket.

3. A 60 year old couple in his district would pay $19,000 more a year.

Just to note. January 23, 2019 there was a vote to reopen government (HJ RES 28, roll call vote 46) when the govt had been shut down for 30 days.

Mike Johnson voted β€œno” on that.

They didn’t seem to mind shutdowns then

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

More pointedly, the pope said, "Someone who says, I'm against abortion, but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life. Someone who says, I'm against abortion but I'm in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don't know if that's pro-life."

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.
