Diesel prices have surged around the world as Ukraine has pounded Russian refineries, forcing Moscow to ban diesel exports.

CNBC is propping up Trump’s lie that Ukraine’s actions—rather than the Iran War—are the primary reason for increased energy prices.

Articles like this don’t reflect the fact that the suffering endured by the Palestinian people through Israel’s genocidal reprisal has been disproportionately greater by a wide margin than the atrocities committed on October 7.

“This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood,” Hegseth told several media outlets, including The Hill, at the time. “The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays.”

Because the prisoner is Muslim. They don’t refer to white supremacist mass shooters as ‘savage terrorists’.

Clearly with the help of Crooked Hillary. /s

Better to link to the original article.

Ultimately, it comes down to which Christians are willing to accept that the Bible is a product of the culture of its time and which view it as infallible. Voters in the latter category—not an insignificant number in the Bible Belt—are far harder for the average Democrat to reach; the best chance of doing so is with candidates like Talarico, to whom they can perhaps relate better than a candidate like AOC.

It’s not ideal, but as long as Christianity continues to have the influence that it does in the U.S., it’s better if people in the Bible Belt were led by progressive Christians like Talarico than evangelical Christians.

The New York Post is a right-wing rag.

Hamilton remains the pastor for the largest UMC church (rather than Global Methodist) in the U.S.; I expect that he would have left the UMC during the schism if he were against it. This article by him seems to reflect a pro-LGBTQ position.

I would think that Trump—unpopular enough as it is—visiting battleground states to discuss contentious issues would not be something that helps the electability of Republican candidates.

I just don’t share them. My point was more to highlight the rarity of Talarico in blending his Christian faith with his politics in a manner that results in a liberal rather than Christian nationalist platform.

Mainline denominations are the most liberal, and are thus the most likely source for Christians running as Democrats. Talarico is a Presbyterian, while Hamilton in Kansas is a Methodist; both denominations are now LGBTQ-affirming.

In an ideal society, democratic socialists would be able to win across the country. Given how much of the South is indoctrinated into basing the laws of modern society around a misguided interpretation of a two-thousand year-old book, finding Christian candidates who don’t interpret the Bible through a Christian nationalist mindset is probably the most effective way to get such voters to support moderate Democrat-aligned policies, let alone progressive ones.

While I might not agree with Talarico’s religious views, he’s the only Christian politician I’ve ever seen that actually acts in a manner consistent with them.

The problem is if Alito retires between the election and Republican senators being replaced on January 3, the Senate would rush to confirm his replacement to prevent the potential blocking of Trump’s nominated candidate.

Justice is dead when lobbying on behalf of a foreign government is punished (not that it shouldn’t be punished in some manner) worse than those responsible for illegally overthrowing that government.

Most of Congress is paid or otherwise rewarded for legislating in favor of Israel, but they aren’t sent to prison for ten years.

Just like with the Russian sanctions bill, the Republicans intentionally pass legislation on issues they are opposed to by poison-pilling it with mile-wide loopholes to make it look to their base that Democrats are the bigger problem.

Not 40, but also don’t want my thoughts and comments to be an income stream for a for-profit organization, whether that be by selling my data for profit, training an LLM with my data, or contributing to an inescapable network effect that can be increasingly monetized by various means.

The modern social media platform is not designed to foster positive interactions, but rather to maximize shareholder value.

An analogy to my point is Trump’s election in 2016; he was elected as the Republican nominee specifically because of all the media outlets constantly reporting on all of the outrageous things he said at the expense of less extreme candidates.

It’s offensive specifically because that’ll give it free advertising by outlets like this.

With Talarico, Texas has every chance of electing a Democrat to the Senate; Trump and the Republican Party at large are investing tens of millions of dollars into the state’s election in an attempt to prevent it.
