James Talarico is the radical Left’s Trojan horse The sack of Troy is nothing compared to the reckoning the Left is about to experience in Texas if people realize how radical Talarico is.

Thank you, "for now" will work πŸ™ I am a firm longtime atheist, I am usually very turned off by the typical Christian politicians, but he does it very differently. IMO the right way. And uses Christianity in a way that terrifies the far right: www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/4481...

In a savvy move, Trump undoes sanctions on Russia after Russia helps Iran target Americans.

U.S. turns to Ukraine for drone defense expertise in Iran war, but solutions may take time Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country will work with the Pentagon and Gulf allies to share what it has learned during four years of drone warfare.

Days before Trump launched a war against Iran Patel fired FBI Iranian counter intelligence experts.
Days after the war started Trump asks Ukraine for drone defense.
The incompetence and lack of leadership shows the US’s weaknesses.

Maddow: Trump's CLOWN CAR CABINET now an alarming liability as threat from Iran spikes YouTube video by MS NOW

National Insecurity

Trump just motivated Iran to retaliate in the biggest way possible. I don't even want to think about what that means.

Kash Patel fired our CI-12 FBI Iran Counterintelligence team. Days before bombing Iran.

Failed to notify Kuwait, lost 3 jets.

Iran Strikes Desalination Plant in Bahrain, Says Gulf Nation
By Elvan Kivilcim
An Iranian drone attack damaged a water-desalination plant in Bahrain, according to the tiny Gulf state's interior ministry on Sunday,
marking the first time the Tehran regime has struck at drinking-water infrastructure in the arid region.
"Iranian aggression
indiscriminately attacked civilian targets," the Bahraini Interior Ministry said in a post on X.

β€œIsrael depends on desalination plants for 80% of its drinkable water.

β€œAbout 90% of Kuwait’s water needs are met by desalination.

β€œBahrain, where the drone strike occurred, is almost completely dependent on such plants for its population of 1.6 million.”

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate β€” and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

So off-base. You know he has a 7-year voting record in the TX House you can look up? Countless videos of him speaking out passionately for progressive values and causes on the TX House floor? I went to the same university as he did and have friends who have known him for 15+years. He's the real deal

The migrant workers/slaves who built the city is geopolitics. The dirty money, the sanctions evasion, the uneasy relationships with neighbours, the war UAE funds in Sudan... Anyone living there is exposed to geopolitics. Just now they can't pretend otherwise.

Being a Christian is a problem when used as justification to harm others. Talarico does the exact opposite of that. Listen to him fight on behalf of non-Christians and transgender people. He just does it in a way that appeals more broadly in TX.

I know you're joking and I enjoy the joke, but in all seriousness I am an atheist and know a lot of other self-described non-religious people who supported and even volunteered for Talarico. He won a lot of us over when he defended us as a group by name on the floor of the Texas House.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"

This is Benjamin Netanyahu's son Yair. While working class American service people are dying in the gratuitous war his father and Donald Trump started, Yair is poolside in Miami chilling.

No word on where Donald Trump's children were, just that they were 100% *not* wearing a uniform.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
