The Catholic Church and the Trump Administration Are Not Getting Along The religion’s call to radical love can’t countenance this much cruelty.

Pope Leo: "Someone who says I am against abortion but I am in agreement with the inhuman treatment of immigrants in the United States, I don’t know if that’s pro-life.”

Trump to attend gathering of top generals, upending last-minute plans President Trump will attend the unusual gathering of hundreds of generals summoned to Virginia on short notice by Pete Hegseth, adding new security concerns.

“The cost of flying and lodging the military leaders will be in the millions.

“The event has also raised security concerns about having the top leadership in one place, and if the government shuts down, it could leave key personnel stranded from their units”

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

“.. Notably, the poll shows U.S. adults expressing strong, bipartisan support for vaccines ..

Trump’s War on Women’s Health And what one foundation is doing to combat it

To all women (and the men who care about them): Please know your health is at greater risk than ever because of the GOP and DJT.

RENMAC: “This is the same BLS that published the inflation reports earlier in the year that the administration touted. This is the same BLS that published the rise in motor vehicle manufacturing employment that the administration touted with a ‘see! it's already working!’”

📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day.
Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

Not going to work. Release the Epstein files.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.

While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.

End this oligarchy.

YouTube video by Forbes Breaking News Durbin Plays Video Questioning Trump's Cognitive Abilities At Judiciary Hearing On 'Biden Cover-Up'

GOP Senator Chuck Grassley, age 91, is holding a hearing on Biden's cognitive decline.

Dem. Senator Durbin walked in, played a video of Trump's perfectly stable everyday ramblings, told them they're wasting everyone's time, called the hearing a distraction and left.

(Reuters) - There are no plans for U.S. President Donald Trump to hold a call with Elon Musk on Friday, a White House source with knowledge of the matter said.

Boss move would be for the EU to offer him an Airbus.

MUST WATCH: Holy hell. Brendan Boyle just obliterated the GOP’s Reconciliation scam live on the floor, calling out every crooked clause and profiteer-friendly loophole like a prosecutor in a murder trial.

This isn’t political theater — this is war.

•••••TURBULENCE AND SHOCKING SYSTEM FAILURES•••••

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) leadership has been decimated by Trump regime policies. What’s remaining of FAA staff has been demoralized — and in many cases traumatized.

Just in the last several days, crises erupted at Newark…

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion.

But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings.

That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025.

We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Somehow it seems appropriate to note here thst a piccolo is a small flute

Sooooo these are going around and I hope this one ends up in Mars. Permanently.

Trump: They don’t have the cards.

Anti-Trump Protests Get Underway Across the Country Demonstrators packed the streets in cities and towns to rail against government cutbacks, financial turmoil and what they viewed as attacks on democracy.

“Concerns varied by location. In Ketchum, Idaho … one sign showed Smokey Bear and read, ‘Only you can prevent forest fires. Seriously. We’ve been defunded. It’s just you now.’”

6 bankruptcies and two market crashes.

You get what you vote for.

JP Morgan is basically raising its global recession odds by 10% a day. It currently stands at 60%.

#TrumpSlump

Is there any amount of incompetence that will lead a Trump appointee to lose their job?

And for other government workers: Is there any amount of competence that can lead them to keep theirs?

Not only did the Trump regime mess up their own opsec, they also committed a war crime. They targeted residential buildings in Yemen, missed their target, and killed civilians instead.
