Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.

Sure. All data on God are indirect. And so that data is not data on what God is. Aquinas says that we can know *that* God exists but not *what* God is. That would require Beatitude.

Pope Leo: “We tend to consider ourselves powerful when we dominate, victorious when we destroy our equals, great when we are feared…As humanity is brought to its knees by so many acts of brutality, let us too kneel down as brothers and sisters alongside the oppressed.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

Day 237—Said my Our Father for our country. Every day until… Join me. Let me know. Pass this on. If it’s not your “thing”, just be kind, let it be. Prayers this evening for a just, peaceful, and enduring resolution to the war in Iran.

The Trump administration’s conduct in the Iran war is accelerating global chaos and deepening America’s dangerous isolation, Robert Kagan argues.

In addition to vice signaling, this action by Hegseth undermines the chain of command--and reinforces the idea that the only thing that matters for a service member is loyalty to Dear Leader and his sycophants. It's dangerous and wrong.

This is what I mean by vice signaling

PLEASE don’t ever take this sequence for granted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No kings, dammit.

If Hegseth truly believes his war on Iran is unfolding in accordance with his conception of Biblical law, then that explains why he treats all those niggling secular constraints as unbinding on him. trib.al/Iy3EVqH

Day 235—Said my Our Father for our country. Every day until… Join me. Let me know. Pass this on. If it’s not your “thing”, just be kind, let it be. Here are the words of Pope Leo XIV from his Palm Sunday homily:

Pope Leo's words are far more blunt than anything heard from U.S. bishops. Same was true when Pope Francis denounced Trump's treatment of migrants. Archbishop John Wester has spoken of U.S. Church facing a 'Bonhoeffer moment'. But only if Church leaders aren't timid or silent in the face of evil.

Important thread. Hegseth has blown a gasket. He needs to go. ASAP.

stumbled on this 2009 column:"if Palin is allowed to continue participating in public life completely free of accountability, there is a risk that she will set a template...A more adept, and more dangerous, politician may exploit the same strategy in the future." Ah well. theweek.com/articles/501...

In a famous exchange with his North Vietnamese counterpart after the war recorded in his classic book On Strategy, Col. Harry Summers said, "You know, you never beat us on the battlefield," Colonel Tu responded, "That may be so, but it is also irrelevant."

Good afternoon. Speaker Johnson was sent a bill to fund TSA, the Coast Guard and FEMA that passed the Senate 100-0. If he had simply called it for a vote it would passed easily. But he chose chaos. Because that’s what Trump wants. Only Johnson can clean up this mess.

Agree with @shaneclaiborne.bsky.social Remember, Mary brought Jesus into the world. St. Francis of Assisi and all Franciscans carry Jesus to the world. At the end of his life Francis called his body "brother ass." And we are called to carry Jesus into the world through the example of our lives.

Day 234—Said my Our Father for our country. Every day until… Join me. Let me know. Pass this on. If it’s not your “thing”, just be kind, let it be. Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for Christians.

"A White House spokeswoman called the protests 'Trump derangement therapy sessions.'" The people I met at No Kings were sane and well-adjusted. The people suffering from Trump derangement syndrome are those who work for him, who bow to him, who slavishly praise him. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/28/u...

There are, understandably, a number of articles & threads floating around to the effect of "What, if anything, can be concluded from the increase in OCIA participants, and is there really even an increase or is it just that dioceses that have seen increases are the ones sharing their numbers?"

1/ It's not just that unilaterally paying TSA agents is illegal. It's that Trump has now repeatedly undermined the core of the congressional power of the purse. He's not spending money that has been appropriated by law (impoundments) and he's spending money that has not been appropriated.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

And I'm posting comment for the fourth time today: It's incredible that the GOP-led Congress and Trump's Cabinet allow this to go on. It's an Constitutional failure of epic proportion. We are all at risk--and the spineless GOP is complacent and complicit.

"...for the sake of sobriety." And to avoid continuing the mistake of *hubris* from which we are already suffering from Trump's illegal "excursion" into Iran.

Excellent @adamkeiper.com thread. Agree that Trump is "an egomaniac who doesn't give a shit about democratic norms..." For the third time today I will note, the unwillingness of GOP-led Congress and/or Cabinet to remove Trump via impeachment or 25th Amendment is an epic Constitutional failure.

“All of which is why it’s clear that ground troops really are on the table. If you’re in a war, you don’t have an objective, and you need the enemy to agree to a cessation of hostilities, then everything is on the table. The operation has escaped confinement.” www.thebulwark.com/p/boots-on-t...

Not just crickets. It's incredible that the GOP-led Congress and Trump's Cabinet allow this to go on. It's an epic Constitutional failure.

It’s wild how every Biden brain misfire led to front-page coverage and yet Trump every day fails to remember significant facts/names and it yields crickets. Diego Garcia, that’s the word you’re looking for. Diego Garcia.

If your elderly parent or loved one was this crazed and irrational you would intervene to keep that person and those around them safe. The unwillingness of GOP-led Congress and/or Cabinet to remove Trump is an epic Constitutional failure.
