In my fantasy world, I'd like to see him return zionist Adelsons' money. Then attack Cruz for his large AIPAC donations.

Texas Democrat James Talarico has built a national profile railing against GOP billionaires in politics — but has quietly accepted funds from a PAC backed by one of the wealthiest donors in the Republican Party. The single biggest donor to Talarico’s state House reelection bid last year was a group funded by casino mogul Miriam Adelson, according to state campaign finance data.

1.) billionaires own politicians in both parties, and I think thats bad

Also

2.) My largest donation came from a billionaire known for supporting GQP politics, but she's giving to me because she wants gambling in Texas. 

Lulz. What a fraud. Next up

Off-topic, but I didn't realize Axios was dumb/right.  A couple of the media bias sites have it rated as truthful with a middle bias.

I don't read it real often, but what I have seen seems to fit that.

Also, Jonathan Swan's (second?) Trump interview was one of the better examples of someone standing up to the bullshit.

But, whatever.

I didn't think I could like Talarico any more than I already do, but here we are.

Sex work is work.

Get a job and stop sucking up welfare!

No, one of the jobs from this list.

I'm not sure about them but I think this is more dumb than right wing based in early primary season. Of course the Republicans would love to face Allred so I guess it's possible they were involved. 

But instinctively it feels more like typical holding Democrats to moral standards that the media never holds Republicans to. In this case, though, it's a huge swing and a miss by the media in thinking that a representative communicating with sex worker constituents is somehow immoral.

They used to be a lot less right-leaning, iirc

Counterpoint: these type of things will sometimes be leaked by the subject candidate around this time in an effort to innoculate him against the issue later.  It could be that Talarico's team saw that he's following a bunch of porn stars on the Gram and decided to get out ahead of it.  Had this come out two weeks before the primary . . . that'd be bad.  Two weeks before the general election--catastrophic because of the aforementioned reality that we hold Democrats to a ridiculously higher standard than we hold Republicans.

Let this come out a couple weeks before Thanksgiving, and it's completely forgotten by Christmas.  But if anyone tries to bring it up in February, it just gets dismissed as "old news" and Talarico's people would say "this came out months ago and nobody cares."
