Who is the authentic Christian in this story? We must stand with our brother in Christ who bears witness to the truth. How can we stop this tragedy? The church must be the church to show the administration its sin. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.

Trump Thinks He Can Take Away Citizenship From Anyone He Doesn’t Like The president is now musing about trying to revoke Rosie O'Donnell’s birthright citizenship because he doesn’t like her

“And yet Trump’s threat to a comedian … is not happening in a vacuum … his threat to criminally investigate Bruce Springsteen, because the rock star said something Trump didn’t like, comes as Trump’s government is …criminally investigating Trump’s enemies only because they made the president mad.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

“Administration officials today seemed to illustrate their utter disregard for the work their jobs require and their refusal to govern for Americans. Instead, they seem to see their offices as ways to get access to large amounts of money and power they can use to impose their will on the country.”

Opinion | Palm Sunday Was a Protest, Not a Procession (Gift Article) Jesus’ procession was a parody of imperial power — a deliberate mockery of Roman spectacle and a prophetic enactment of a kingdom not built on violence but on justice.

Trump Is Rolling Out a Huge Part of Project 2025’s Proposed Attacks on Elections The far-right playbook foretold these moves. They’re not done yet.
