10/ “Until we meet again in the fight for freedom and dignity, we will be the continuators of our shared history and the protectors of our greatest treasure: not copper and steel, but the freedom it represents.”
Trump's allies are asked a simple question: "What else could a Russian asset actually possibly do that Trump hasn't yet done?"
I’m sorry but this isn’t getting enough attention. When RFK Jr. was asked about a young child who died of measles in Texas, he responded “It's not unusual. We have measles outbreaks all the time.” This is the first Measles death in the US in 10 years.
TRUMP: The NCAA has complied immediately. That's good. But I understand Maine -- is the governor of Maine here? JANET MILLS: Yeah I'm here TRUMP: Are you not gonna comply? JM: I'm going to comply with state and federal law T: You better do it bc you're not gonna get any…
Our priest talks about the importance of mercy, and even has the temerity to suggest we should love our enemies knowing full well that few in the congregation do that regularly.
Which priest would challenge a politician publicly during Mass on his positions? NO GOOD ONE. That’s not the purpose of Mass, and it wouldn’t be effective.
Trump's furious because as a Bishop, Budde can move as far she wants diagonally, but as a Russian pawn he can only move one square at a time.
Please listen to the Bishop of El Paso.
Bishop Mark J. Seitz of El Paso, chairman of the USCCB’s Committee on Migration, issued a statement regarding Executive Actions that will “subject vulnerable families and children to grave danger.” ow.ly/3sQy50ULqP0
Florida school library bans “The Hills We Climb," the poem written & read by Amanda Gorman at Joe Biden’s inauguration. Ron DeSantis & Donald Trump don't want you to hear this poem, so I'm posting it here. Pass it on. Bob Graham Education Center — a K-8 school located in Miami…
JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters. “Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public…
I undertake to do likewise - this will be my last post, re-post, or comment on X

"Americans are being buried under an avalanche of misinformation and disinformation, enabling the abuse of power. The free press is crumbling … Social media is giving up on fact-checking. The truth is smothered by lies told for power and for profit."
civilized people do not voluntarily and knowingly attend events to celebrate rapists. Biden will go out of respect for the office of President, certainly not for the felon and sexual offender who will soon hold that office.
Jill Biden declined the traditional invitation for tea at the White House with Melania. Kamala Harris is refusing to invite JD Vance to the Naval Observatory before the inauguration. Michelle Obama won’t even be in attendance at the inauguration with his husband. The Democrats…
Jennings: When she tweeted out the picture from the Carter funeral, she clearly cropped out Trump.. Phillip: She didn’t. That was a picture the Carter family released
One political party is willing to nominate, elect, and pay obeisance to a rapist and convicted felon. The problem isn't how we talk about politics, it is about the fact that we tolerate sexual abuse in many arenas. We must not. It is that simple.
