Ted Cruz clutches his conservative Christian pearls on Twitter and gets hilarious response [1] ['Daily Kos Staff', 'Backgroundurl Avatar_Large', 'Nickname', 'Joined', 'Created_At', 'Story Count', 'N_Stories', 'Comment Count', 'N_Comments', 'Popular Tags'] Date: 2023-02-06 The Grammy Awards were broadcasted on Sunday, showcasing the music the kids are listening to these days. Kids and others, of course, but it also meant we would see all kinds of performances. Sam Smith is a soul-singing pop star from across the pond in England who had a Grammy-nominated song along with Kim Petras in the duet category. The duo won, making them the first non-binary person (Smith) and transgender woman (Petras) to win in the category. They also performed the song “Unholy” during the broadcast and it was a sexy red affair with lots of dancers and lots of energy. Cruz, best known for tweeting out pornography he was liking and then pretending he didn’t, decided today was the day for proving that Sam Smith and Kim Petras were correct in writing a pop song about the how even the most prominent figures can live double lives. Cruz began his attacks after clearly waking up on the floor next to his fainting chair.

Just sayin’. Any messages we need to make sure Teddy gets before signing off? That’ll do it. In conclusion: RELATED STORY: Four days into widespread outages, misery in Texas is immense … so Ted Cruz is going on vacation We're chatting with one of our favorite fellow election analysts on this week's episode of The Downballot, Kyle Kondik of Sabato's Crystal Ball. Kyle helped call races last year for CBS and gives us a rare window inside a TV network's election night decision desk, which literally has a big button to call control of the House—that no one got to press. Kyle also dives into his new race ratings for the 2024 Senate map, including why he thinks Joe Manchin's unlikely tight-rope act might finally come to an end. In their Weekly Hits, co-hosts David Nir and David Beard recap big developments in two Senate contests: Rep. Adam Schiff's entry into the race to succeed Dianne Feinstein, and the GOP's unexpected show of unity in the open-seat election in Indiana. They also dissect the first poll of this year's hotly contested race for governor in Kentucky and highlight another 2023 battle that shouldn't get overlooked: the race for a vacant seat on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.
