Recent reports out of Gaza are heartbreaking and bleak. A colleague in #Gaza told Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA: “People in Gaza are neither dead nor alive, they are walking corpses.” @iamCARITAS @CaritasEuropa americamagazine.org/politics-socie…
Sen. Tuberville blocked hundreds of military officer nominations for months in the Senate when Biden was in office.
When a new coach is hired, they get to pick their team. It’s that simple. 77 million Americans PICKED President Trump to lead our country. And yet, radical Democrats continue to BLOCK over 150 of his nominees. RIDICULOUS. It’s time we buckle up and get @POTUS’s team confirmed.
Staff at the Jesuit-sponsored Miguel Agustín Pro Juárez Human Rights Center (also called the Centro Prodh) in Mexico City have been targeted at least twice with sophisticated spyware since 2017. americamagazine.org/politics-socie…

The Catholic Church is increasingly functioning as the new mainline church in American politics—where left, right, and center gather to receive Christ. It’s a fulfillment of what Alexis de Tocqueville said about American Catholics, who “constitute the most republican and the…
USAG continuing to act as personal attorney and judicial goon for the Orange one whose name I dare not speak
Today at my direction, @TheJusticeDept filed a misconduct complaint against U.S. District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg for making improper public comments about President Trump and his Administration. These comments have undermined the integrity of the judiciary, and we will…
The arm of the US government that was responsible for famine relief was called the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance at @USAID. Staffed by incredible, dedicated professionals who were really damn good at their jobs. It was dismantled by @elonmusk.
Mr @POTUS @JDVance @BernieSanders @RobertKennedyJr @RepThomasMassie @RoKhanna can we please get aid into GAZA NOW?! Children are starving to death!! We are America. This isnt about politics. This is about humanity.
The two reports published today by @btselem @P4HR aim to generate discussion, even within Israeli society, about the crimes Israel is committing in Gaza. Within this context, our role is to bring you the voices of the soldiers on the ground. Our testifiers describe a reality of…
Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It sounds inconceivable. But it’s the truth. Israel is taking deliberate, coordinated action to destroy the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Explicit statements by Israeli officials, combined with a consistent policy of destructive attacks…
The Christian speaker of the House can’t bring himself to publicly oppose a pardon for one of the worst child sex traffickers of our lifetime. That’s the story. That should be the headline. Astonishing.
Q: "Would you support a pardon or a commutation for Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted sex trafficker?" Speaker Mike Johnson: "That's a decision of the president...I won't get in front of him, that's not my lane."
We had no choice but to yank health insurance from millions of people
Retrofitting Trump's 747-8 luxury jet bribe from Qatar might cost taxpayers $934 million (!!!)
Qatar's gift to Donald Trump of a luxury jet for his post-presidential use will cost taxpayers almost $1 billion in carefully concealed Pentagon funds. That's money straight from your taxes to Trump's personal benefit. nytimes.com/2025/07/27/us/…

It’s been hard to really diagnosis the crisis in the US church over the past decade and this is a super helpful analysis
The removal of three outspoken critics of Pope Francis from Sacred Heart Seminary exposes a deeper crisis in the U.S. Church—where dissent from the Magisterium is masked as fidelity and ideology masquerades as orthodoxy. wherepeteris.com/false-orthodox…
“While White House officials say Trump is genuinely disturbed by the killing of Palestinians and wants the war to end, he has applied virtually no pressure on Netanyahu to end it in the last few months, according to Israeli officials.”
