A mysterious, GOP-linked super PAC is roiling a Texas Democratic primary - POLITICO

Lead Left has poured more than $900,000 into promoting Maureen Galindo, a left-wing sex therapist who has been broadly condemned by Democrats over a string of comments they say are antisemitic, including calls to turn a local ICE detention center into a “prison for American Zionists.” The group has put more than $640,000 toward ads, per tracking firm AdImpact.

"From Adam to…King Arthur…?" (Bradley Onishi and Daniel Miller; Straight White American Jesus podcast) It's in the Code ep 174

Josh Hawley wants us to believe that his vision of manhood and masculinity comes from the Bible, and specifically from its first book, Genesis. 

But does it? 

If it's supposed to come from Genesis, why does he spend so much time talking about people like the ancient Romans and King Arthur? 

And if he's being "biblical," why does he talk about topics that just aren't in the biblical text, like "leadership" and "representation"? 

In this episode, Dan decodes how Hawley actually uses the Bible to explain this ideological mash-up. Check it out to hear more!
