Buried in here: UMC pastors in Chicago told me they were going to keep doing this for a wide spectrum of Methodists who have legal battles amid the ongoing mass deportation effort in the city โ€” immigrant families, pastors who have been arrested, etc.

Some serious denominational solidarity here.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): โ€œIf this is what theyโ€™re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilitiesโ€ฆ what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?โ€

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is โ€œchoosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.โ€ It also warns of cuts due to โ€œCongressional Republicans and President Trumpโ€ in the โ€œOne Big Beautiful Bill.โ€

"Mate, I can't do anything but tell it to you straight. This Canada thing is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The Canadians ran an advertisement showing Ronald Reagan being against tariffs. Guess what? Ronald Reagan was against tariffs."

Let me see if I have this right:

Republicans canโ€™t find $8 billion for SNAP, but *can* find $40 billion for Argentina and $230 million to line the presidentโ€™s pocketsโ€ฆ because his feelings are hurt?

The math isnโ€™t mathingโ€”and the American people arenโ€™t buying the bullshit Republicans are selling.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing?

Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

Progressive Christians have been speaking up all along; it's hard to break through the firewall that White Christian Nationalists have built up over the past 40 or so years. Would love it if the media would notice that we exist!

โ€œIn this country, a person who believes that he is the law cannot be president.โ€

Here's an idea: Trump, his cabinet of horrors and every single Republican Member of Congress resign and apologize to the American people for terrorizing and lying to them and crawl back under the rock they came from.
