Every time the Justice Department tries to claim the military isn’t actually banning transgender people, Pete Hegseth tweets that it is.

This is likely to come up at oral arguments at the DC Circuit Court of appeals β€” conveniently scheduled for tomorrow.

Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:

β€œHow much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”

You know who should lose their tax exempt status and be taxed as political entities for pushing politics loooooooooong before Harvard? Christian Nationalist megachurches that supported Trump and his current brand of fascism.

Then I’m sure they won’t be asking for government subsidies to compensate for the impacts tariffs have on them.

I just introduced the Delete DOGE Act, which – you guessed it – would defund DOGE.

The 1st number is what the White House claimed other countries charge us in tariffs, the 2nd number is what they actually charge. The White House lies to you. Again. (charts from CNBC)

β€œI don’t think that Trump from his place of privilege or Elon Musk from his wholly un-American sentiments has any inkling what the American dream really actually means to the average person.”

Trump and Musk’s DOGE is gutting Veteransβ€”and they don’t give a damn. So we hit back. Hard.

This isn't just about voting rights; it's about the rule of law itself.

Trump's EO is a clear attempt to subvert the Constitution and impose his own will on the American people.

You are NOT overreacting. This is real, and it’s happening now. I don’t know what to do,* YET, but I’m ready to do something. I just wanted to reassure you, you are NOT overreacting.

*I’m not asking for suggestions, thanks.

If only there had been warnings about Trump’s erratic, frightening, irrational and dictator tendencies.

If only there was a 900 page manual that he is following to the β€œt.”

If only there was a previous presidency to look at as an example.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position.

Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

1. I want to call attention to this, because it brings up something that I think about a lot: Not his support for trans people, the last part. The part where, in the face of animus, he affirms the basic dignity of every human, no matter how distant they are from our own experience or belief system.
