This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice. 📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

pardoned Tim Leiweke — who his own DOJ indicted in July for rigging a public university’s arena bid— It’s all a grift — Saudis to crypto to pardon seekers — everything gets turned into a revenue stream. With 1,500+ pardons already, clemency is a monetized market

Yes Chip, let’s have regular people pay $25k per year for a catastrophic plan that requires us to pay another $12k out of pocket before insurance pays a dime, while you are covered by lifetime medical, and a very handsome lifetime pension for 5 years of “work”. That’s looking out for We the People.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power. It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

The gop spin machine is alive & well in TN-07, saying it wasn't a bell weather, it wasn't a +22 district. So I did some math. Green won in 2022 by 22 points, in 2024 he won by 21.5. Last night the puppet won by 8.9 points. That's a 12.6 shift in the super gerrymandered dist with comparable turnout

Gen Z is spending more on essentials than previous generations, yet their wages aren't keeping up. It's no wonder they aren't "spending like retailers need them to." When 70% of the economy depends on consumer spending, people need money to spend. It's as simple as that.

I laugh whenever I see a billionaire described as “selfless,” because nobody becomes a billionaire by being “selfless.” To reach billionaire status, “selfish” and “greedy” are the two most appropriate adjectives.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration. But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants. The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.
