So my US rep’s office staff told me today that they could say with certainty two things: John James supports the president, and John James 100% supports the rule of law.” I spent 30 minutes trying to explain that those were mutually exclusive.

ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson is second in line to the presidency, but he wants you to know he has no opinion on anything and takes responsibility for nothing. His go-to line is “not in my lane.”

Kristi Noem should never have been confirmed after this. It ended up being a perfect representation of what she would do.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

Fun trick: Every time Trump says ‘Antifa,’ swap in ‘MAGA’—suddenly, what he's saying becomes true.

It’s SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

Time and time again, these cowards bend the knee.

Pope Leo: “In a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people.”

Pope Leo blasts elitism, indifference toward poor in first major document

"I am convinced that the preferential choice for the poor is a source of extraordinary renewal both for the church and for society," the pope wrote in Dilexi Te.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

We look back on people & organizations that stayed “neutral” or “above politics” under fascism as key collaborators in helping the regime to cause so much suffering to so many.

These trumpette puppets, along with trump, are trying so hard to sow division that is currently creating a lot of chaos. All of it just to further their Project 2025 agenda.

This is your Wednesday afternoon reminder that there are more of us than them. Do not forget that! ✊️✊️✊️

Leo punctuates Francis’ pontificate and builds on his own themes regarding the poor. The document serves as a sign of continuity between Francis and Leo, and is a clear mandate to those who would treat the poor as if they don’t exist. You cannot call yourself self a Christian and cast away the poor.
