I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

"Wanting to inaugurate a kingdom of justice, fraternity and solidarity, God has a special place in his heart for those who are discriminated against and oppressed, and he asks us, his Church, to make a decisive and radical choice in favor of the weakest (16)." #PopeLeoXIV #DilexiTe #RememberThePoor

He literally says we are “killing all the right people” and celebrates that we have “run out of bombs.”

All the while pretending to be Christian.

Rebuke it in the name of Jesus - the Prince of Peace who blesses the poor and the peacemakers… not the millionaires and the warmongers.

Mike Johnson Cornered Over Wild Trump Pardon Hypocrisy House Speaker Mike Johnson found himself tangled in his own rhetoric when confronted with President Donald Trump’s admission that he didn’t know the crypto billionaire he’d recently pardoned. CNN’s Ma...

The Oval Office occupant gives lip service to Christianity, but isn't trying to represent himself as hardcore Christian.

Mike Johnson is all in on his Christian identity. But he lies just as easily as the president does.

If there were a hell, he'd have a reserved room.

So, is MAGA Mike Johnson ever going to work again, or is he just going to keep humiliating himself by holding these weird press conferences every day? Trying to starve Americans and take away their health care to protect those in the Epstein Files certainly is a choice.

Pope Leo vs. the Empire of Lies: The Long Game to Defeat Trumpism He’s already rebuked immigration crackdowns and blasted the “logic of exclusion” fueling rising nationalism. Now, as the youngest pope in 35 years, Leo is poised to help defeat Trumpism for good.

Pope Leo XIV is reminding America and the world that “Blessed are the peacemakers” is more than sweet nothings — it’s Christ’s summons that can topple tyrants, whether they wear a hammer-and-sickle or a MAGA cap.

In the Age of Rad Trads and Groypers, Pope Leo Warns Faith Can’t Be Lived Alone The first American pope is telling Gen Z exactly what they needed to hear: don’t let your faith languish as a solo online project languishing in extremism.

Pope Leo has some advice for Groypers, Rad Trads, and other young people flirting with fascism — go outside and touch some grass.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.

In Trump’s GOP, the once-mighty tea party is hard to find Since the movement upended politics 15 years ago, Republicans have sharply changed direction under MAGA — with many tea party veterans along for the ride.

Donald Trump is the very thing those of us in the Tea Party always said we feared. So what happened? Why did the vast majority of the Tea Party become hardcore Trumpers? Because the Tea Party became MAGA. Good piece here.👇 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

We are going to have to starve the military of funding when the sane are back in control. There won’t be any choice. It’s being positioned as a direct threat to our citizens

The Art of Letting Trump Claim a Win, While Walking Away Stronger

Trump bungled China policy so badly he had to run to Xi to beg forgiveness and surrender. Everyone knows it. In the "deal", America gets nothing, not even a return to status quo.

Trump has now totally abandoned his promise to "get tough" on China.

The idea that Dems need our own Nazis to compete with MAGA Nazis for the pro-Nazi and Nazi-adjacent vote is as stupid as it is offensive. What we really need are fewer idiots peddling such vile foolishness.

No war is holy. No border wall is Christian. No leader is above God's call to peace.

Pope Leo spent the entire day lambasting our political leaders: “We must ensure that this period of history, marked by war and the arrogance of power, soon comes to an end.

“Enough!”

9 months back in power, and every branch of government now merged into one corrupt man. The House, the Senate, the Supreme Court, all nothing but autopens for a crook who’s doubled his fortune while Americans starve.

Silencing dissent is now second nature to this administration. We have fully abandoned the premise of allowing public argument and debate and are instead entrenched in rote fascism. The thought police are entirely empowered, and they treat us no longer as citizens of a republic,
but as sheep.

Ever notice how mainstream legacy media totally feeds, enables and perpetuates the global "crisis culture" created by politicians who want to control you and want you to be afraid?

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.
