The rumors regarding Texas Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico’s love life have been officially put to rest, though his relationship might raise a few questions.

The New York Post revealed on Friday that America’s newest woke darling has been secretly dating a vegan political lobbyist who once worked as his chief of staff.

According to the Post, Talarico met his girlfriend, 30-year-old Brianna Menard, when she landed a position in Talarico’s office in 2022. They did not start dating until the following January, when Menard became chief of staff for state Representative Salman Bhojani.

In addition to lobbying on vegan issues, Menard is vegan herself. This comes as rumors of not eating animal products have dogged Talarico.

While he has insisted he is a classic Texas carnivore, Talarico was seen wearing a mask and discussing embracing veganism to fight climate change in a 2022 video.

“We have, I think, heard more and more of issues of animal welfare,” he told a Texas crowd. “I think not just because it’s the right thing to do and the moral thing to do, but it’s also—as all of you know—necessary to fight climate change.”

“It is now existential that we try to reduce our meat consumption and that we try to respect animals in all aspects of society,” Talarico continued . “I am proud to say that our campaign has officially become a non-meat campaign…we are only buying vegan products from our local vegan businesses.”

While not proof, it is certainly interesting that Talarico is dating a die-hard vegan, given the rumors surrounding him.

Moreover, the fact that this woman is a former employee of his might raise a few eyebrows.

Talarico previously claimed on a podcast that he had a girlfriend, but declined to identify her.

“She is my rock. She is my best friend,” Talarico stated on an episode of “The Jamie Kern Lima Show.” “I don’t know if I could have gotten through the last six months of this crazy race if she hadn’t been by my side.”

As previously reported, the O’Keefe Media Group on Tuesday released an undercover video of Washington Nationals Director of Community Relations, Sean Hudson, admitting to religious discrimination against Christian pitcher Trevor Williams.

Hudson told the OMG undercover journalist that he also surveilled the Nationals’ fans’ Google history.

“One of our pitchers, Trevor Williams. He’s super Christian-Catholic, all these tattoos that mean a lot,” Hudson told the undercover reporter.

“The Dodgers had a group… who were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuns. [Trevor Williams] went on social media like… ‘This is my religion. You all are mocking it,’” he said.

“Because of that, we don’t use [Trevor Williams] on social [media],” Hudson added.

“Like, when they’re like, is a hot dog a sandwich? And like, the players come up, you know what I mean? Like, we don’t ask [Trevor Williams],” Hudson admitted.

Hudson then told the undercover reporter that the Nationals assign fans to different groups based on their Google history.

Former First Lady Jill Biden opened up about Biden’s cancer diagnosis in a wide-ranging interview with CBS News Sunday Morning’s Rita Braver, describing the news as “shocking” and “somehow” missed by White House doctors. 

In May 2025, just months after the Bidens left the White House, it was reported that the then 82-year-old was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer that had already spread to his bones.

President Trump responded after the news broke last year, seemingly suggesting that it was swept under the rug by former White House physician Kevin O’Connor, who famously covered up Biden’s cognitive decline. “It takes a long time to get to that situation … to get to a stage nine. I think that if you take a look, it’s the same doctor that said that Joe was cognitively fine,” he told reporters.

“Somehow that was missed,” Jill Biden said of the diagnosis.

Jill Biden recently joined CBS News Sunday Morning for her first solo sit-down interview since leaving the White House to promote her new book, “View from the East Wing: A Memoir.”

The full interview is scheduled to air on Sunday.

“I can remember getting the diagnosis, and it was just— it was shocking,” Jill said. “The [White House] doctor said that, according to the American Urological Association, that men over 70 don’t need a PSA, a blood test anymore, because it’s a slow-growing cancer.”

“I have to say, Rita, I do feel we had amazing care in the White House, but somehow that was missed,” she added.

WATCH:

In another portion of the interview that was pre-released by CBS, Jill also claimed that she had never seen any signs of cognitive decline, even doubling down on the statement.

When Braver noted that everyone could see he “wasn’t the same Joe Biden,” Jill stumbled, “Well, I don’t think that’s true. He was the same, the essence of the same Joe Biden.”

“But yeah, he was slowing down. He was getting older. I mean, we all observe that when— you know, it’s a very intense job. I think it ages you, um, quickly,” she continued.

WATCH:

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Jill Biden, in a recent interview, claimed that Biden’s debate performance against Trump “frightened” her and that she thought he was having a stroke when he crashed out on the stage.

“I was frightened, because I had never ever seen Joe like that before or since. Never since,” Jill Biden told Braver. “As I watched it, I thought, ‘Oh, my God, he’s having a stroke.’ And it scared me to death.”

President Trump responded to Jill’s comments with a zinger on Friday. “Did my strong performance in that debate cause him to plain and simple ‘choke,’ leading to his ignominious defeat, or were other reasons the cause? Nobody else knows the answer to that, BUT I DO!!!” the President said after trolling the notion that she believed Biden had a stroke but did nothing about it like “any good wife would.”

MSNBC host Al Sharpton has likened President Trump’s plans for an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event at the White House to slavery.

The event, dubbed UFC Freedom 250, will be held on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14 as part of America’s 250th anniversary celebrations.

The card, being organized alongside UFC President Dana White, is expected to feature seven fights, including a lightweight title bout between Ilia Topuria and Justin Gaethje, with a temporary arena being constructed on White House grounds for thousands of spectators.

The event will also coincide with Trump’s 80th birthday and Flag Day. 

On Friday morning’s episode of Morning Joe, Sharpton compared it to slaves being forced to fight for the entertainment of their masters.

Sharpton ranted:

The fact is that 250 years ago, when they signed the Declaration of Independence, we were enslaved. Women couldn’t vote; only white male landowners could. So if we want to celebrate something, celebrate the people that corrected.

The isidious behavior of some of the Founding Fathers who extolled the right virtues but didn’t practice them for all people at all genders. I think that we have to do that very loudly, very boldly and unapologetically.

I mean, we’re going to Washington on the anniversary of the March on Washington, 63 August 28 this year. We need to bring out that yes, we went from slavery to a President of the United States of color, but it was bloodshed, it was nights in jail, it was beatings.

It was all kinds of things that got us there. Let’s celebrate how we grew and the people that paid the price for it, and that are continuing to pay the price now, because when we’re dealing with this redistricting, Trump and others are trying to bring us back to an America that we struggled to get out of.

So there is a connection of why that they’re having these fights on the White House lawn, the UFO, whatever they call UFC, and all that because they’re trying to go back to that when, you know, they’d watch people have these fights, for the slave masters, and they’d be entertained, but they’re literally going back to that.

Professional race-baiter Al Sharpton says the upcoming America 250 UFC fight is the same as slaves fighting for their masters.
