Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

โ€œThe ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

Trump thinks he's a king and Republicans refuse to negotiate.

Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re 5 days away from a Republican government shutdown.

Democrats are ready to pass a bill to prevent this. But Republicans would rather increase your health care costs, than do their jobs.

CBS got their hands on a rendering of Trump's big White House ballroom. We'll let you pass judgement in the replies here.

Today the Oversight Committee sat down with Alex Acosta. What we heard only confirmed what we already knew: he cut a sweetheart deal for Epstein, silenced victims, and let a predator walk free.

A poll from Virginia today: Spanberger up by 12% for governor (52/40). Dems also lead in the elections for lieutenant governor (48/37) and attorney general (48/41).

69% of Dems are "very enthused" to vote, compared to 56% of Republicans and 42% of independents. mcusercontent.com/0a86688a0d7c...

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?"

Turns out, mom was right.

House Republicans just released their funding legislation. Hereโ€™s one thing you should know:

It does not include any extension for the Affordable Care Actโ€™s premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of this year. 22 million Americans will see higher premiums if nothing is done.
