This could be a new low for a president who brings daily shame to America. I challenge anyone to affirm this vile and sociopathic comment.

Trump posted a very sick and twisted message about the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife.

Trump is obviously a very sick person and a national security threat.

The American people need to vote to remove Republicans who are endangering our country by enabling Trump.

If cutting tariffs on food improves affordability, then isn’t that an admission that raising them in the first place contributed to higher prices?
Trump cuts more tariffs with eye toward grocery prices — POLITICO
The White House already slashed tariffs on other global food imports last week as it works to lower grocery prices.

If you support this decision and profess to follow Christ, then you have some thinking to do. Even when others try to care for the downtrodden, the Trump administration tries to insure that the hungry will starve.

My take on today’s tariff arguments at the Supreme Court. Short version: LOL slate.com/news-and-pol...
Going into Supreme Court arguments over President Donald Trump's tariffs on Wednesday, it was genuinely difficult to guess how the justices would rule. Within minutes, that suspense vanished. The hearing was a bloodbath for the Trump administration: Six justices lined up to bash the Justice Department's defense of the tariffs, barely disguising their annoyance with the government's barrage of blustery nonsense. At the halfway point, it would've saved everyone time had the court just huddled, announced its decision from the bench, and recessed early for lunch. Trump's signature trade policy-which he expected to raise trillions of dollars for him to use as he wished-looks dead on arrival at SCOTUS. We have spent ten months waiting to see if, and when, this court would set a limit on Trump's power. Perhaps we should've guessed that its extraordinary deference to this president could be outweighed only by its hatred of taxes.

Almost a week without ABC and ESPN. Hmmm. YouTube TV still has an avalanche of live sports. Maybe things are a little better with a little less noise. I certainly have no plans to give Disney any more money. #youtubetv #espn #disney.

If you’re able, please consider donating to a food bank as SNAP benefits get put on hold. Your local food bank can do a lot of good with even a small donation.

If you’re in Contra Costa or Solano Counties, you can donate right here:

You can't teach U.S. history without "divisive" narratives. Slavery wasn't "unifying." The Japanese incarceration wasn't "unifying." The anti-immigrant Operation Wetback (real name) wasn't "unifying."
It's history's job to tell the truth, not cover up past racism to pave the way for future racism.

Go to the The National Museum of African American History and Culture now before Trump shutters it. It exposes the grave missteps of our country, the beauty of our nation’s culture, and a beacon for how America can become the true city on a hill.

We’re at the arresting judges stage of fascism.
Kash Patel on Twitter: Just NOW, the FBI arrested Judge Hannah Dugan out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin on charges of obstruction — after evidence of Judge Dugan obstructing an immigration arrest operation last week. We believe Judge Dugan intentionally misdirected federal agents away from the subject to be arrested in her courthouse, Eduardo Flores Ruiz, allowing the subject — an illegal alien — to evade arrest. Thankfully our agents chased down the perp on foot and he's been in custody since, but the Judge's obstruction created increased danger to the public. We will have more to share soon.

If the Trump administration is going to ignore judicial orders and the president has broad immunity, then cabinet secretaries should be held in contempt and jailed.

Now for some Sunday service. Thanks to AOC for speaking truth to power. She's amazing! 👏💖
#AOC #Alexandria #trump #elon #Christian #oligarchy
If Jesus Walked Through These Doors by Alexandria Osacio-Cortez It's very difficult to sit here and listen to arguments in the long history of this country of using scripture and weaponizing and abusing scripture to justify bigotry. White supremacists have done it. Those who justified slavery did it. Those who fought against integration did it, and we're seeing it today and sometimes especially in this body. I feel as though if Christ Himself walk through these doors and said what he said thousands of years ago; that we should love our neighbor and our enemy, that we should welcome the stranger, fight for the least of us, that it is easier for a rich man.. that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into a kingdom of heaven, he would be maligned as a radical and rejected from these doors. And I know, and it is part of my faith, that all people are holy and all people are sacred unconditionally. And that is what makes faith sometimes. That's what prompts us to transform, because it is unconditional. It's not about that. It's not about, "It is up to us to love parts of people." We love all people. There is nothing holy about rejecting medical care of people no matter who they are on the grounds of what their identity is. There is nothing holy about turning someone away from a hospital. There's nothing holy about about rejecting a child from a family. There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law. And I am tired of communities of being, of faith, being weaponized and being mischaracterized, because the only time religious freedom is invoked is in the name of bigotry and discrimination. I'm tired of it. It is not up to us. It is not up to us to deny medical care. It is up to us to feed the hungry, to cloth the poor, to protect children, and to love all people as ourselves. AOC gave this speech, without needing a prompter. She just said it from the heart and what she really thinks about the current state of our government while speaking in Congress. This is a photo of her speaking in Congress.

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."

Written right there in the Constitution.

The President cannot change that with the stroke of a pen.
