Congress is about to pass a bill that hurts the very people they claim to represent.

Behind the polished rhetoric are devastating consequences: stripped protections, gutted funding, and policies that put politics over people.

This isn’t leadership — it’s cruelty wrapped in a press release.

Senate Democrats flocked to the floor for an all-night talkathon to protest the confirmation of Russell Vought, President Trump’s nominee to lead the White House budget office and an architect of Project 2025.
Senate Democrats Hold the Floor in Overnight Protest of Trump Nominee
Powerless to stop President Trump or Russell T. Vought, the nominee to lead the White House budget office, Democrats pulled an all-nighter to show their opposition.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

You can’t “self-care” away the rise of fascism. It’s supposed to be infuriating, exhausting, scary, etc. Take all those feelings and do something with them

President Trump's lawless federal grant freeze attacks critical public services that we all depend on.

Their assault on civil society now threatens fire safety, school lunches, disaster relief, cancer research, law enforcement and more.

We will fight to resolve this constitutional crisis.

Today, my department began filing cases against the Trump administration for executive actions, which are clear violations of federal law and the United States Constitution.

Been thinking about this cartoon.
For no reason.
Really.
It's from 1889 -- during the Gilded Age.

Jesus laying down his life out of love for the world rather than using all cosmic and political power to force the world to obey him will forever be the greatest critique of any Christian movement that seeks to secure power in order to ensure that others conform to their will.

When we Christians are more known for our support of presidents than we are for our support of the poor, the immigrant, the marginalized, and the oppressed, that is when we know we are following someone other than Jesus and we have a lot of repenting to do.

A version of Christianity that tramples the poor and marginalized in favor of the rich and powerful is a religion completely at odds with the teachings of Jesus.

“Cowardice asks the question, ‘Is it safe?’ Expediency asks the question, ‘Is it politic?’ But conscience asks the question, ‘Is it right?’ And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right.”
