Wait, hold on, are you saying that the guy who fought in an actual revolution against a monarchy he thought was tyrannically abusing its powers wasn’t wild about a unitary executive with boundless authority? Dunno, seems like a stretch to me!

He did. His campaign issued a statement saying exactly that.

Not the most offensive thing here. But this man is a professional writer and somehow thinks it’s a good idea to use β€œintrospect” as a verb.

The Conference of Catholic Bishops is... not playing around in this brief.

The rise of the far right isn’t due to culture or β€œwokeness.”

It isn’t due to immigration either.

It’s due to economics. Especially the global financial crisis.

Photo shows a young girl with her cat

This is Maria, a 6-year-old detained by ICE last year.

She began to unravel soon after arriving at a detention center in Texas, wetting the bed after years without accidents, crying through the night and begging to breastfeed again.

Most of all, she wanted to be reunited with her cat, Milo. 1/

It’s more complicated than that. Dolan was required to submit his request when he turned 75 in February. But cardinals are often asked to stay on until 80 when retirement is mandatory. So Leo’s acceptance is righty read as a signal that he thinks change is needed now.

And then they gave me a lollipop and said, β€œSir, you’re the best behaved little boy we ever did see, we’ve never seen anyone so well behaved in the doctor’s office. You were so brave when you got your shots that you can have TWO lollis.” Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary didn’t ever get any lollipops.

Jamal Khashoggi was silenced; Alexis Navalny was silenced; these guys are just the most thin-skinned people around.

Re: the idea that empathy or compassion is bad or even "toxic," a belief held even by some Christians today.

There is problem with that belief, and that problem comes from Jesus himself....

It is tremendously rude that you basically have to keep working out forever.

Ex-Commissioner Sues, Saying Adams Ran N.Y.P.D. as a Criminal Enterprise

But sure, let’s spend our time agonizing over what boxes @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social checked on his college application as a teenager …

Typically, when someone does an important job badly, you give it to someone else. A lesson that also applies to Fetterman.

To be fair, he’s also so marinated in his own self-mythology that he may not realize this himself.

You see John, when someone does an important job badly, you give it to someone else. A lesson you may learn sooner rather than later.
