“To see my opponents as children of God”. That is powerful stuff from @jamestalarico but that is also a true Christian.
In his interview with Joe Rogan, @jamestalarico pointed to one Christian teaching that can save democracy: “Love your enemy.” Truly a must watch:
“There is no religion that says, ‘when someone gets sick, see how much money you can make off them.’” - @jamestalarico
Trump and Republican Speaker Mike Johnson are grinding the entire Congress to a halt in order to avoid calls *from their own members* to release the Epstein files. The same Trump and GOP who RAN ON PROMISING TO RELEASE THE FILES is now CLOSING CONGRESS instead. Why?!
Breaking News: Speaker Mike Johnson said he would shut down the House until September to block a vote on calling for the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. nyti.ms/4nZtblR
Another pathetic and weak dodging of transparency. Proud to be a sponsor of @RepThomasMassie and @RoKhanna’s bill to finally allow the American people to see the facts.

Republicans: absolutely flail on Epstein scandal Mallory McMorrow:
The most profound part of @jamestalarico conversation with @joerogan was the part where he shared his “why”. Why did he run State Representative in the first place? He told the story of one his student named Justin. He talked about the connection he built with Justin, the…
Why would talking to a sex trafficker who worked with another sex trafficker who used to party with the President demand courage?
Justice demands courage. For the first time, the Department of Justice is reaching out to Ghislaine Maxwell to ask: what do you know? At @AGPamBondi’s direction, I’ve contacted her counsel. I intend to meet with her soon. No one is above the law—and no lead is off-limits.

This stock trading issue is not going away for him and, per people I have talked to, makes this the seat Republicans are most anxious about losing, after the Bacon seat in NE.

.@jamestalarico: "The reason I'm a Democrat is because I want to change things. These systems don't work for a lot of people... We can't fall into the trap of defending broken institutions, broken systems, or the status quo. We've got to be the party of change, which is our…
.@jamestalarico: "Before I went on Rogan's podcast, I went on Fox News. I've been on the Christian Broadcasting Network. I've been on The 700 Club. I'm trying to go into places where Dems don't typically go, because politics is about addition, not subtraction. If you want to…
Hey Gena! Fun fact - I grew up in a small rural town, my brother worked on my neighbor’s farm, and I worked in the local family run grocery store supplied by and selling to many of the farms in the area - so I know it pretty well!
So I just listened to this entire 2+ hour podcast (first time listening to Rogan). And I gotta say I’m extremely Talarico-pilled.
WATCH: “If being anti-gay was really central to Jesus’ ministry I’d think he would’ve said something about it.” TX Rep @jamestalarico, grandson of a Baptist preacher, talks to Rogan about Republicans politicizing Christianity, and why government forcing religion on us is wrong.
Rep. Torres: "Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine and so far has failed. He promised to release the Epstein Files, so far has failed. He said he would never touch Medicaid, he's cutting it by a trillion dollars. His economic policy has wreaked havoc on the American economy."
Thanks @LateNightSeth for highlighting what has to be the most insane Epstein response of the week. @SecDuffy and his friends might take connecting flights through Epstein Island, but I certainly did not!
Evidence mounts that the @andrewcuomo campaign is secretly funded by @ZohranKMamdani in order to make Mamdani look better nypost.com/2025/07/19/us-…
Investing in our caregivers is a down payment on all of our future.
