11. Which is hilarious

Sec. Hegseth is calling for a schism and an avignon papacy. Nothing screams Catholicism like a nice antipope.

Ain't it funny how we finally get a good ol' 'mericun Pope and he's too woke for the war?

Also -- to your point about Texas, yeah. I don't know. I think the odds of the Democrats winning 51 seats in the Senate is very unlikely. Not impossible, but I think that IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN, that would be the sort of election where we win in Texas. Just given how the polling has been looking and the dynamics of the race.

I don't for example seeing us winning Montana before we win Texas. But if we win Montana, we will be winning Texas too.
