You mean to tell me that Chicago gets to claim Michael Jordan, the first Black President AND the first American Pope? Good lord you ain't going to be able to tell them NOTHING.

The elevation of Pope Leo XIV is a profound and historic occasion. Like so many around the world, I am praying for him and wishing him and the Church well as his papacy begins.

The guy who “knows more about […] than anybody” sure says, “I don’t know” an awful lot. I’ve posted about this before, quite literally a month ago, and here we are on the same train to insanity

When Pete Buttigieg came out of nowhere (at least for a lot of people) he was just a guy with a funny name. But now he's known as one of our most clear thinking, truth speaking, intelligent and also a very good, person that we have in the public eye. He's right. We need to show the alternative.

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic.

“The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

If YOU want to preserve YOUR liberty and that of YOUR family, choose leaders like John Padora who will serve YOU, serve the entire republic, and fight for Constitution-based RULE OF LAW to protect both YOU and his own family!

Protect RULE OF LAW with leaders like John Padora!

Scott Pelley sits down with Marc Elias tonight on 60 Minutes.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

Do the MSM reflexively convert all issues into *the politics* of the issue?

Hmmm, let's see. (Lead story in WaPo right now.)

It is time for the right wing conservatives to understand Trump is absolutely not the president America needs now or ever to lead us.

He is hurting Americans no matter how far left or right we are.

We are far beyond party over country now.

It is time to end Trumpism.

It is bad for ALL of us.

If you think a just-fertilized cell has rights, but a 4-year-old US Citizen with cancer has no right to talk to a lawyer before getting deported without her meds...then you don't care about children…👇

First of all, that’s FUCKED UP!

And secondly, you care about looking loyal to your depraved cult.
