BAIER: I wonder as a catholic how you consider this picture which a lot of people took as the president posting a picture of himself as Jesus?
VANCE: I think the president was posting a joke and, of course, he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't understanding his humor in that case
In response to a personal attack by President Donald Trump the night before, Pope Leo told journalists on the papal plane to Algeria:
“I have no fear of the Trump administration or speaking out loudly of the message of the Gospel, which is what I believe I am here to do, what the Church is here to do. We are not politicians. We don’t deal with foreign policy with the same perspective he might understand it, but I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.”

MURRAY: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
DAHL: Yes.
MURRAY: And the rate for someone making $1 million?
DAHL: 2.2%.
MURRAY: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
Garcia: While you were being assaulted, you told the agents that you had filmed this on your phone?
Bazan: Yes.
Garcia: And that’s when they took your phone away. These agents didn’t just take your phone. They sold it. They pawned it at a kiosk for $250. Is that correct?
Bazan: Yes.
Rep.Thomas Massie has called out the DOJ & FBI for redacting the names & Convictions of the Alexander brothers Oren,Tal & Alon from the Epstein files.They were all just convicted of numerous trafficking charges.They also partied at Epstein’s homes & Maralago! Why hide it! 🤬
Host: A bipartisan group of senators is now calling for a probe into the DOJ's redactions of the Epstein files, accusing the Trump administration of violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act and re-victimizing survivors.
A DOGE bro just admitted he thinks veterans’ issues are “DEI.” 🤦♂️🇺🇸
He terminated grants that helped veterans because he supposedly “read books” about how bad they are… then couldn’t name a single book. 📚❌
As a veteran, I honestly don’t know how anyone who served could vote for Trump — never mind half.
Veterans deserve respect and support, not culture-war nonsense.

BREAKING: SHOCKING TESTIMONY reveals DOGE operative wiped out research funding without training or experience
A jaw-dropping deposition is shedding new light on how the Trump administration’s controversial DOGE initiative decided which federal research grants deserved to live — and which would be wiped out.
The answer? Apparently… vibes.
Under oath, DOGE staffer Nathan Cavanaugh admitted that he and another colleague personally labeled several academic grants as the “craziest” they had seen — and canceled them despite having no experience in grant review, federal research funding, or scholarly peer review.
When pressed on why one research project was targeted, Cavanaugh didn’t point to fraud, waste, or flawed methodology. His reason? The project mentioned “feminist and queer insights.” That alone was enough.
Another grant examining the experiences of marginalized military veterans — including women, Black service members, Native Americans, immigrants, and LGBTQ troops — was also flagged and canceled. Why? Because the description “explicitly says LGBTQ.”
That was the entire explanation.
When the lawyer conducting the deposition asked Cavanaugh whether he had any background in scholarly peer review or grant evaluation, the answer was simple: “No.”
The attorney then asked whether it was appropriate for a twenty-something with no experience reviewing federal grants to make sweeping decisions that could destroy researchers’ careers and cut off funding for academic work.
Cavanaugh’s response? He saw nothing wrong with it. He argued that someone could make those decisions simply by being “well-informed” from reading books.
The lawyer then asked the obvious follow-up question: Which books? Cavanaugh’s answer? “There were no books.”
And the irony gets even sharper.
Earlier in the deposition, Cavanaugh insisted he had no regrets about people losing income and research funding because the cuts were meant to reduce the federal deficit. When asked if those actions actually reduced the deficit, he admitted they did not.
So to recap: federal research grants were canceled by people with no expertise, no training, no peer review experience, and apparently no research to guide their decisions — simply because certain projects mentioned LGBTQ issues or feminism.
And the people making those calls say they see absolutely nothing wrong with that. That’s why so many people are finally realizing that MAGA actually stands for “Morons Are Governing America.”

It's really very simple. Just comply. This woman loses her 💩 when the policeman asks her to step out of the car. She has someone on the phone feeding her bad information.
What makes people act like this, wanting to question authority? Is it the misinformation, that they can question the cops? This looks like a mental health issue to me, and it's far too common.
Never forget: Trump himself called the whole thing a hoax from day one.
And that's exactly why he despises Thomas Massie. Massie ripped the mask off and exposed him as the disgusting liar he is.
