Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico may not have any musical talents (that we know of, at least), but he’s become the most coveted special guest in country music of late. On Oct. 17, Talarico joined the Chicks at their San Antonio date, following appearances in the crowd at Kacey Musgraves‘ Dallas show earlier this month and backstage at Willie Nelson’s annual 4th of July Picnic (the legendary artist also just gave the candidate his official endorsement). All three artists are from Texas, naturally, where Talarico currently holds a very slight lead over Attorney General Ken Paxton, in an extremely…

Hunter Schafer underwent bottom surgery last December. According to a new interview with Elle, Schafer had the gender-affirming surgery – which alters a person’s genitals to match their gender identity – last December and described the process as “amazing.” “I love it so much,” she said. “For a long time I’ve embraced the gender-expansive part of myself, and I really wanted to try to make that previous body work, because I thought there was something really cool and badass about it,” Schafer said. However, she discovered that medically transitioning would affirm her gender as a woman. Schafer had previously labeled…
Golf courses, Jon Husted’s fat dumper, and demands to rename “New Mexico.” There are only 15 days until the midterms, and Donald Trump is locked in. On Monday, with early voting already underway in over half a dozen states, the president should be focused on boosting Republicans’ closing message to disillusioned voters around the country. Instead, he is upset that New Mexico is called New Mexico. “New Mexico should immediately change its name to New America,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “We are not Mexico, we are the United States of America!
