‘Parishioners excused.’

That’s how bad it is. A Catholic bishop lifted the obligation to attend Mass because ICE might raid the church.

Mass isn’t required “if a member of the faithful has a genuine fear of immigration enforcement actions.”

The feds should be ashamed. Terrorizing the faithful.

Less than two weeks after Pope Francis's passing, the man who is the poster child for the Seven Deadly Sins posted a picture of himself depicting him as the Pope.

This is not only offensive to millions of Catholics but is a stark insight into the mind of a deeply disturbed individual.

Appalling.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW: Tell them to vote NO on the continuing resolution today. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
Democrats divided on whether to shut down government or vote with GOP
Trump needs Senate Democrats’ votes, but they are still weighing whether to use this rare point of leverage and risk taking blame for a shutdown.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Nebraska is going to get crushed between Tariffs and Medicaid cuts. They have to balance their state budget and it looks like at least a 200m shortfall this year. BEFORE tariff impacts.

And Nebraska Republicans here ! Curious what you think

DOGE cut off payments for the electricity, cell phone, and internet service of U.S. government employees who work in a high-risk area in Central America.

Meanwhile, DOGE apparently plans to spend $25,000 to install a washer and dryer for their own personal use in a federal office building in DC.

After firing federal workers at the CDC, some 180 of them have received emails begging them to come back to work.

"Read this e-mail immediately" was the subject line according to the AP.

So much government efficiency going on.

What a joke.
