  • Love the info

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

URGENT: Stop the Save Our Bacon Act NOW
Q: What should people say when they call their senators?

Texas Cattle Rancher Turned Vegan Invites President Trump to Her Farmed Animal Sanctuary Amid Talarico Vegan Controversy

Texas Cattle Rancher Turned Vegan Invites President Trump to Her Farmed Animal Sanctuary Amid Talarico Vegan Controversy
Q: Is it accurate that you cannot be a vegan and run for office in Texas?

AI & Animals: WHAT TO DO NOW!
Q: What features of current language models correlate most strongly with reduced moral considerations of animals?
