Episcopal Problems: When people talk about how mad they are about ABC, and your first thought is "The See of Canterbury is still vacant--there is no Archbishop of Canterbury at the moment"

Union between the Anglican Communion and the Roman Catholic Church is always possible, not just because of our shared faith in the risen Christ and the Episcopate, but also because of our shared antipathy to food served at Church Governance functions 🀣

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

I think the question at this point isn't when the Trump administration is going to "accidentally" deport a US Citizen to El Salvador's prison and then say that they can't bring them back, but when.

I'm excited for this. I feel like TX Senate races are always Lucy with the football with Charlie Brown running at it for Dems--but a nasty primary, a collapsing economy, and Allred running again might just let us take it. PARTICULARLY if Paxton wins the primary.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months.

I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

JUST IN: After Trump’s tariffs wiped more than $2.5 trillion off U.S. stock markets in less than a day, Liz Truss has awarded Donald Trump with the Golden Lettuce β€” the highest honor in reckless economic policy.

Man, the market is so bad today that FOX "News" has a headline about it about halfway through its main webpage (the number 2 story, of course, being about a trans athlete 10 stories above the market crash) #TrumpRecession

We put tariffs on an uninhabited island full of penguins but not Russia.

Very normal administration we have here.

Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

White House: we’re going to raise taxes on the richest Americans to cover no tax on tips

GOP Congress: the fuck you are

The bridge too far, for anyone keeping track, appears to be their rich friends income.

Revoking legal status for people protesting causes you disagree with sounds like something I'd expect from China, not the USA.
