In case some of the “talking heads” are missing it, this is the magnetic north of the Dem party:
1) get money out of politics
2) get America out of forever wars
3) stop using our money and political power to abet genocide
4) Medicare for all
5) tax the rich and corporations
6) regulate AI

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

'Fake' Christian? Or Faithful?
Though MAGA believers call James Talarico “blasphemous,” he’s squarely within his Mainline Presbyterian tradition. And that's a timely reminder of the diversity of Christianity in Texas and beyond.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man."
A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life.
