BRUTAL- A young girl’s poem about divorce. "So when my mother asks what I want next year, cash is what I’ll say. Because what I really want is something they don’t want to hear.” Remember this the next time you have the urge to say “all kids want is to see their parents happy!”

“For non-white Catholics, the result is staggering. In 2016, 15% of young men voted for Trump and 12% of young women. In 2024, it was 56% of young non-white Catholic men and 16% of women. That’s a forty-point jump for males. Just staggering.”

“The share of young non-white evangelical women who voted for Trump went from 22% in 2020 to 43% in 2024. That’s insane!”
