It seems to me an important aspect of the sidelining of Stephen Colbert by the pressures of this regime is not only to restrain his political views and criticisms, but also to silence one of the very few mass media personalities occasionally giving voice to actual Christian theology

Thinking about how the Pope is going to vote for President in 2028, same as I will, and my vote will count the same as the Pope’s. Yours will too. It’s so weird.

BREAKING: A federal judge blocks Trump from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of their union rights.

The White House tried to end collective bargaining for workers at numerous agencies by invoking national security.

A U.S. District Judge just shot them down.

A court orders the Unification Church in Japan dissolved The Unification Church in Japan was ordered dissolved by a court after a government request spurred by the investigation into the 2022 assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
