It’s such a relief to know this admin is always working so hard to lower prices, create jobs, reduce the cost of healthcare, and make home ownership affordable.

So I guess they're all getting together hoping for the slim chance that just one of them can figure out what Antifa means

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting.

Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported.

I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

“I was struck at the beginning (of the video), it talks about the feeling of powerlessness, which I think is so much. I think it’s so important that we as a church give a message of hope in the midst of these horrible struggles, what’s going on in so many cities in the United States right now. At least the church cannot be silent,” the pope told the El Pasoans, according to a video of the meeting provided to El Paso Matters by Hope Border Institute.

Seitz responded: “You’ve spoken very strongly. We’re trying to do the same in our country and yet not get into the political fray the best that we can.”

Pope Leo told Seitz that he’d like to see the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops become more vocal on immigration issues.

“I mean, even within the conference, there are challenges. That’s one place they should be … I wish they were stronger in their own voice,” Leo said, adding that Archbishop Timothy Broglio, the president of the conference, should speak out more on immigration.

“There’s been some good movement in that sense, but I certainly intend to continue to encourage” U.S. bishops to address immigration, Leo said.

"ICE? Let's get ICE off our streets and into our beverages. This aggression will not stand. Let's just abide together"

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

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."

1. On Monday, Trump delivered a $70 million windfall to his billionaire buddy, John Paulson.

Paulson hosted the biggest fundraiser of Trump's 2024 campaign, raising over $50 million.

This week, Trump returned the favor.

Who's cherry picking on a tiny subset of the issues little Mike?

You are the one who is trying to ignore kicking 12 to 17 million United States citizens off of Medicaid and make everyone's ACA premiums triple with a huge BS talking point that illegals are getting free medical care

He's probably going to try to pull something and get this really speeded up to the Supreme Court on his absolute power to do anything he wants.

I'm no expert but they record most Court proceedings and somebody should post that. Sounds like behavior unbecoming a judge. I think there's a show called Court cam or something.
