Jasmine Crockett Was In The Driver's Seat In Texas Senate Race. Then Colbert Happened. The Texas congresswoman is facing questions about her campaign strategy as her Democratic opponent James Talarico continues to gain momentum.

What if Talarico wins and his religious identity changes and he suddenly swings farther to the right? Then what? I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who wears their religion like he does.

Thank you!!!!! Finally! I don't trust him either. Religion should not be centered in politics!

Love my seahawks so much! Congrats to all the performers! I didn't understand several things- except the important parts. Let's not forget the beautiful Coco Jones too! Really loved a show with meaning and a spotlight on important parts of America- Like PR!

What the AF. Don't mess with OUR Obamas. Love them all. Was so proud to serve in the military during their administration....when my colleagues for the 1st time in military history could marry the people they loved.

And you forgot the countless girls strangled or murdered by Epstein and his network of sick old men...I would wager Trump and his friends number of victims is higher than everyone else.

This is figure 1, which shows the proposed artificial oceanic carbon capture and upcycling system.

This is figure 1, which shows the proposed artificial oceanic carbon capture and upcycling system.

A paper in Nature Catalysis reports a system to capture carbon dioxide from seawater and convert it into biodegradable plastic precursors. The findings suggest a potentially sustainable way to produce industrial chemicals. go.nature.com/4o5lcTA #chemsky 🧪

I'm so disgusted that the National Guard is gassing and harassing Vietnam Veterans in Portland. I hope the tables turn and the uniforms are stripped right off the backs of these traitors. No respect for the pathetic guards hiding their faces like Isis. Shame on Trump and them!

Total government shut down. Just like Netanyahu, Trump and his red-tie minions take the opportunity to show off their " Trump 2028" hats? AMERICA, why isn't everyone in the street protesting? This is beyond psychotic.
