“We must act to stop this evil and witness to the goodness and dignity of all God’s children,” the 200+ clergy write. “For us, the stakes couldn’t be higher. As Matt 25:46 clarifies, those who refuse hospitality to the stranger, refuse to see Jesus in the faces of the persecuted, stand condemned.”

Trump is reportedly considering airstrikes on Venezuelan military facilities, including naval facilities and airstrips that officials believe are used to smuggle drugs, as a way to force Maduro to step down.

The "Peace President" is ready to start a war.

Trump’s cruel SNAP cuts are a moral failure—leaving food banks stretched and families desperate. I saw it firsthand at Project Bread in East Boston. Trump and MAGA Republicans are creating a hunger crisis to protect billionaire tax cuts.

John Roberts Is a Threat to the Health of Every American The Supreme Court chief is complicit in the destruction of the federal government’s public health infrastructure.

Individual justices may wobble but the Roberts' court as a whole is aiding and abetting the destruction of public health, biomedical research and healthcare in this country. This is John Roberts' legacy. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Trump's cash demands continue to bedevil deal with South Korea The White House and South Korean government continue to haggle over the details of Seoul's $350 billion investment commitment.

The South Korean trade deal is about to be hamstrung because Trump is demanding Seoul pay 350 billion up front into an "investment" fund that the White House would control.

Pay to play, or country club membership dues?

Unbelievable.

Bloomberg officially endorses Cuomo after spending millions to back his mayoral campaign The billionaire former mayor has once again thrown his support behind Andrew Cuomo in hopes of stopping Zohran Mamdani.

When billionaires are running scared, we should all be running the other way.

Mamdani for NYC!

People (MAGA) point at LA's homelessness and say "that's California's failed system." But is it? If these people who make these claims ever went to Skid Row and talked to people, a lot (I'd say majority) are from red states. Those states put them in this position. They went to LA for survival.

Hold the line, Dems.

Epstein's clients didn't stop r*ping kids when he was arrested.

They never stopped.

Releasing the unredacted files isn't just about justice for the now adult victims. It's also about saving children who are being abused RIGHT NOW.

And the GOP will starve children to protect the monsters.

Air Pollution From Industrial Facilities Is Far Worse Than Estimated The Trump administration has put a stop to EPA rules that would have required more than 130 industrial facilities to install air monitors to measure pollution. Millions of people living near these pla...

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says.

New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%.

But Trump has halted those efforts.

With great power comes great responsibility. Republicans are in charge right now. They may not have 60 votes, but they hold the gavel, and that means it’s on them to negotiate.

You cannot keep the government closed, refuse to talk, and then blame Democrats for the mess you created.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Citing Trump Order on “Biological Truth,” VA Makes It Harder for Male Veterans With Breast Cancer to Get Coverage A Department of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica erects new roadblocks to care for veterans with the rare but deadly cancer. The agency cites no new science but relies on an executive orde...

Citing a Trump executive order banning "gender ideology," the VA is withholding coverage and treatment for male veterans with breast cancer, an increasing condition among veterans exposed to toxic chemicals during service. 100 male veterans a year are diagnosed with breast cancer.

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Here’s his video about it. 👇🏾

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

BREAKING: Trump has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces nationwide by January to respond to civil unrest within the U.S.

Ask yourself why no other president felt the need to do this.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted in September 2025 to block any legislation challenging President Trump's tariffs until March 2026, effectively preventing any immediate changes to the tariff policies during that period. This means that the tariffs remain in place despite ongoing discussions.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Florida legislators honestly didn't realize there were religious institutions other than Christian when they passed the law. Maybe they dimly recognized a couple of Jewish day schools.

Your now-mandatory reminder that Republicans in Congress are just fine with this

Heartbreaking: Transgender athlete and college student Lia Smith took her life at just 21 years of age.

The fact that LGBTQ people are much more likely to attempt suicide and kill themselves has everything to do with the institutionalized bullying they face on a daily basis.

I think Trump might be lying.
