I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Pam Bondi’s defensive attacks against Senate Democrats questioning her was not the flex she thinks it was. All it did was vividly point out how she has abandoned Justice Dept. independence to serve the desires of her authoritarian boss.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

They want us at each other's throats.

I think the idea that “The President is simultaneously an institution beyond the reach of criminal law and also a private person who can file $10 billion defamation suits when he dislikes a news article” is not very sensible.

🇺🇸 Immigration — Facts & Compassion 🇺🇸 I know immigration is a topic close to many of our hearts, especially when it comes to protecting our families and communities. I wanted to share some important facts alongside the values I believe we all share: fairness, faith, and love for our country

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

A seamstress named Elsy Noemi Berrios was forcibly detained by masked agents who did not present a warrant. Elsy is about 52 years old & has an asylum case pending in court. Her teenage daughter filmed this terrifying scene. If they can do it to her, they can do it to you. Speak out now!

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

We’ve lost an incalculable amount of credibility and standing in the world. I fear it will last long after Trump is gone. We’ve shown we’re easily fooled by conmen and propagandists.

Told ya. They're going to privatize everything but still make you pay federal taxes so they don't have to. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I’m so freaking disgusted with he Dems! Get up! Get loud! To hell with decorum! Who cares if you get kicked out?? Get into some good trouble, you whimps!

Right 👇🏾👏🏾😊

Pete Hegseth just reportedly ordered the US military’s Cyber Command to “stand down” from all planning against Russia. Analysts have been ordered not to follow or report on Russian threats. One inside source said, “Putin is on the inside now.”

We have spent trillions to posture against Russia over the years. Now we have a chance to send them into the ash heap of history by supporting Ukraine. It’s a good deal, unless you want Russia to win, in which case god help you

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

We need to tax them until they bleed

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

UPDATE: My colleagues and I were locked out of the Dept. of Education and denied a meeting with Acting Secretary Carter.

Let's get this circulated!! 😤

Donold’s supporters don’t care if they lose their jobs or their freedom as long as he is performatively ‘owning the libs.’ That’s how much they have been taught to hate you.

Selective outrage of the right.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID. Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

I envy those who don’t know the misery of being a blue dot in one of the most radical, hopelessly red states in the country. People say, “Well move!” but I was born here, my job is here, my elderly parents are here, my four kids and five grandkids are here. I’m trapped in this insanity.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

Well played, President Claudia Sheinbaum, for committing troops already at the border since 2021, knowing perfectly well President Man Baby would have no idea and take it as a win.

JFK on why he founded USAID. “The economic collapse of those free but less-developed nations which now stand poised between sustained growth and economic chaos would be disastrous to our national security, harmful to our comparative prosperity and offensive to our conscience”.

Trump is an evil man.

My prediction: 1) The tariff’s will be a disaster; 2) Trump manipulates the numbers to say the fertynal crisis has been dramatically curved; 3) Claims victory and removes the tariffs; and 3) MAGA will start posting memes of the tangerine tyrant in a Superman suit claiming he saved America, yet again

I haven’t lived through the collapse of a civilisation before I study history so I have read the guidebooks, but they don’t quite capture the experience of being there

BREAKING: Nat'l intelligence experts are ringing the alarm on the politicization of the FBI and other intelligence agencies. Hear from three of them now. **This post is free, and we urge you to share it with those who may not otherwise have access to the information revealed.**

Guess they didn't background check any of the j6 pardons. Shocking

Just a reminder, The Federal Aviation Administration currently has no Senate-confirmed leader after top administrator Michael Whitaker was forced out under pressure from Elon Musk, who had demanded his resignation in September for proposing fines of more than $600,000 for SpaceX over safety concerns

Rep. Jasmine Crockett continues to be on 🔥 #ResistTrump

Emergency Video: Where are the Dems and what is the message?! Oppose this agenda now! Come back from vacation! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Good morning ☀️ Flip the rage, sadness, and frustration toward the elected leaders. Especially, the ones we elected. Quit attacking each other. Most on this platform are friend, not foe. Don’t give this admin what they want—division. We won’t escape the cruel world like that. #SheShed
