The countries where comedians can't mock the leader on late night TV are not really ones you want to live in.

Jesus is the hungry child in Gaza. When we don’t feed them, we don’t feed Jesus

Jesus is the thirsty child in Gaza. When we don’t give them water, we don’t quench His thirst

Jesus is the wounded child beneath the rubble. If we don’t rescue them, we have abandoned Christ Himself

We CANNOT say we did not know.

Where is our humanity, @SpeakerJohnson @RepJeffries @LeaderJohnThune @SenSchumer?

“ICE will have twice as many agents as the FBI and will have its own huge and growing prison system (which it operates independently) as its masked and un-uniformed officers continue to snatch people off the streets and mete out violence as they see fit.”

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country. And remember, 93% have no record of any violent crimes. This facility, then, is comparable to the internment camps for Japanese Americans during the Second World War. But let's call it what it is: a concentration camp. Jesus wept.

What a scoop from the Post.

The One Big, Beautiful Bill Act would force the USPS to sell off its 7,200 EV delivery vehicles and *rip up post office facilities/lots* to uninstall their chargers.

The chargers have no real market value so it’s just incinerating public dollars.

Rights of due process don't depend on our personal opinions of the accused. For example, I regard the January 6, 2021, criminals as insurrectionists and traitors - yet I am still glad that each and every one of them got a proper trial before they were convicted and sentenced.

If a legal permanent resident can be deported without breaking any laws, because the government doesn’t like his policy opinion, it’s not a free country. It’s that simple.

“These indiscriminate cuts are not just a policy failure. For us, especially, as followers of Christ, as uncomfortable as it may be, we must clearly … but prophetically, say: it is also a moral failure.”

As the biggest source of humanitarian assistance in the world, USAID partners with ministries for various projects and local churches to funnel aid.

Christians working around the globe have been shocked by agency's sudden shutdown under Trump and Musk.

"“At a time when there are more refugees globally than ever in recorded history, including many persecuted on account of their faith, the United States should be doing more—not less—to offer help to those in need of refuge."

New York City just implemented the most effective climate policy ever undertaken in the US, and it didn’t cost a penny.

No costly new technology, no utopian dreams of electric cars or fusion, no giant tubes sucking carbon from air:

Just, charging drivers the cost of driving.

The “E-Bike Effect:” Those who bought e-bikes increased their average daily bicycle use from 2.1km (1.3 miles) to 9.2km (5.7 miles), a 340% increase. The e-bike share of all their transportation increased dramatically too; from 17% to 49%. Via @Treehugger
