Talarico has poor odds of winning Texas, but his campaign is going to elevate politically crucial messages on Christianity and liberalism that will be heard nationwide.

okay, Ill bite.
What do you think the point of reading for and writing a literature review is? The process of reading and writing is crucial for THINKING. Your ideas are shaped by all of this, offloading it to gAI, no matter how "good" you think gAI is at it defeats the purpose entirely.

Hate to be pedantic, but SNL didn’t mock her for being a β€œscary mom”.

They mocked her for being β€œthe craziest bitch in the Target parking lot”

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

Just assuming the epic fury at Biden for the tragic American deaths withdrawing from a war will not be matched for starting one.

I remember when trying to forgive student loans was massive overreach of Presidential power.

The American people now see Trump for who he is β€” a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.
