If I get sent somewhere without due process and make it out, and people ask how it happened, I’ll just say: β€˜Well, Chuck Schumer didn’t think Trump’s approval was low enough. So I disappeared to a camp in another country until he felt Republicans would work with him.

Justice Dept. Official Says She Was Fired After Opposing Restoring Mel Gibson’s Gun Rights Elizabeth G. Oyer, the former pardon attorney, said that she was not told why she was dismissed, but that as events unfolded she feared they might lead to her firing.

This is really remarkable. A pardon attorney was told that Gibson was a personal friend of the President and she should recommend he be given his access to guns back. She didn't and was immediately fired.

They will fire lawyers who won't bless their cronyism.

But our identity is in Christ, whose faithfulness carries us from the wilderness to the cross to resurrection. /End

8/ The world is always tempting us:
β€œIf you are children of God, then…” (insert temptation here).

7/ As we enter Lent, may we reject the temptation of shortcuts and power. May we trust in God’s provision, serve rather than conquer, and cling to Christ’s faithfulness rather than our own strength.

6/ Jesus fasts because we don’t. Jesus rejects power because we don’t. Jesus is obedient because we are not. His faithfulness saves usβ€”not our own.

5/ Dominionism is one modern form of temptation: the belief that Christians must take control of society. But Jesus rejected worldly power. The kingdom of God is not won through conquest but through servanthood.

4/ Even the Devil knows Scripture. Just because someone quotes the Bible doesn’t mean they use it faithfully. Jesus responds to temptation with Scriptureβ€”but rightly understood.

3/ Jesus shows us that faithfulness is greater than effectiveness. The way of God’s kingdom is not through coercion or shortcuts but through trust, obedience, and love.

2/ In the wilderness, Jesus is temptedβ€”not with blatant evil, but with shortcuts to seemingly noble goals. Turn stones into bread? Rule the world? Perform a miracle? Each could be justified, but Jesus refuses.

1/ Temptation often disguises itself as something good. One of the easiest ways to fall into idolatry is by worshiping the very things we are meant to love. 🧡

Trump: "We were the richest relatively -- think of this -- from 1870 to 1913. That was our richest. Because we collected tariffs ... we had so much wealth. Of course, now we give it away to transgender ... everybody gets a transgender operation."

GOP Rep Faces Furious Locals in Town Hall Event Gone Wrong Rep. Rich McCormick faced some toughβ€”and very angryβ€”critics.

The Georgia Republican who recently told CNN that school kids should be sent to work to earn school lunches was met with outrage and fury from residents at a local town hall meeting on Thursday night.

I met with rural Democrats in Page County, Iowa tonight.

Everyone is a little overwhelmed with the shock and awe campaign, but they are calling, writing, and showing up.

Red state folks are used to this sort of blitz…we know the drill. Stand up. Talk back.

For some reason, I keep thinking about how the Emperor Tiberius (the emperor who crucified Jesus) renamed the Sea of Galilee "Lake Tiberias" after himself as part of his brutal repression of the Jews.

Renaming things is a powerful form of colonization and oppression of subject populations.

Wait. Have @doge and Elon just been pulling numbers from usaspending.gov ?

Then releasing it as if they discovered it ?

Brilliant if true. Absolutely brilliant. Fooled me.

Very Trump like too.

Any usaspending.gov experts out there that can tell us ?

How are the Democrats so befuddled in how to respond to Trump? Trump people announce their literal playbook (Project 25) and Tactics (Flood the Zone), and the Democrats are openly admitting that they don't know how to respond to this. Seriously?!?!?

Faith-based orgs like Lutheran Social Services serve everyone, regardless of faith. Cutting their funding doesn’t hurt bureaucratsβ€”it hurts kids, veterans & families in need.

Blocking approved funds may not even be legal. Speak up!

180 Republicans voted to defund the FAA in 2019. These 180 Republicans voted against the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2019, which included funding for the agency responsible for keeping air travel safe. Source: #meidastouch

This is why I post comments like this: The investigation is ongoing, and politicizing it without facts is irresponsible. Calling DEI the problem is just coded language implying women and people of color shouldn’t be in these roles. By process of elimination, it’s clear who they think should be.

After claiming he doesn't know who Laura Loomer is and merely took a photo with her at a book event, Kash Patel is asked if he's familiar with Stew Peters, an antisemitic podcast host.

Patel: "Not off the top of my head."

Durbin: "You made eight separate appearances on his podcast..."
