Same. I'm judging this by how rabid the republican voters are. That there is a runoff between Cornyn and Paxton boggles my mind. Cornyn is no gem but Paxton is so corrupt his own party impeached him just to have him acquitted by the senate. Not mention his wife is divorcing him because of an affair.

Pope Leo XIV speaks against Trump’s new war in Iran and calls for peace in the Middle East.

β€œWar again! We must be heralds of Jesus’ peace, which God desires for everyone! We must pray much for peace, live in unity, and reject the temptation to harm others; violence is never the right choice.”

Great week for the military industrial complex- their executives, principal investors, and stockholders. Lots of people about to make many billions from US taxpayers on Trump’s Iran bombings, which are costing us a fortune every single day.

Two of my favorite songs of his are a duet he did with his daughter "Should've Never Let You Go" and a song he co-wrote with Carol Bayer Sager "Let The Good Times In".

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

What a rare breath of deliciously fresh air. Congratulations Hannah, Zack, everyone involved in defeating Reform's naked xenophobic authoritarianism with authentic humanist hope, not with Starmer's authoritarianism-lite. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I am running for Congress because we urgently need leaders who will stand up for our rights. We need leaders who understand that treating human beings like human beings is a moral obligation, not a political question. We need leaders who will work hard to help humanity, not serve the elite.

I am a first-generation college graduate, the mom of a young daughter, a proud union member, and a public defender. I have personally experienced many of the challenges that working class people face, and I understand the urgency they demand.

There has been no harsher critic to possible U.S. military action in Iran than Pope Leo:

β€œWar is back in vogue and a zeal for war is spreading. The principle established after World War II, which prohibited nations from using force to violate the borders of others, has been completely undermined.”

Tucker Carlson is first and foremost a racist. He's going to run for president and could win on this issue. And it causes me fear for Black and Brown people in this country who are already in great danger.
