On July 22, the Church celebrates the feast of St. Mary Magdalene, whose story of repentance, mercy, and evangelization continues to inspire the faithful around the world. EWTN Vatican journalist Bénédicte Cedergren has more.
The House is set to vote on several bills before they leave on Thursday and won’t be back in session until September.
The $1.15 Trillion dollar NDAA, which will tie our military intelligence to Israel.
A Trump requested $93 billion dollar bill that gives the pentagon $60 billion for the Iran War that has now killed 17 US service members and injured over 430 more. Another $12 billion will go to farmers who have been financially devastated because of Trump’s war with Iran due to high costs of fertilizer and fuel.
And another CR, which is another extension of the budget bc Republicans can’t pass a budget even though they campaign constantly on balancing the budget and reducing the near $40 Trillion dollar debt.
Just to be clear, under full Republican control, their priorities are funding another foreign war, selling out our military intelligence to a foreign country that bankrolls most of our politicians campaigns, and overspending your tax dollars.
Nothing changed by electing Trump and Republicans.
Oh and the national price of gas is $4 dollars again and we only have less than 45 days left of our Strategic Petroleum Reserves. What was that thing we used to say again, drill baby drill?
So much winning with maga..
Good morning.
Since Trump started his war on Iran, 14 U.S. service members have been killed and 427 wounded as reported by the AP.
This is tragic and shouldn’t be happening.
We voted to end wars that cost our tax payers hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars and kill and injure our beloved military men and women.
We are in no danger from Iran, they can’t even hit us with a missile and all of our intelligence sources said they were no where near having a nuclear weapon.
This war was started for Israel and is now all about the Strait of Hormuz and control of oil.
And there seems to be no end in sight, with the bombing now including power facilities and desalination plants in Iran and Kuwait.
Countless innocent people’s lives will be at risk without power and especially water.
This is evil.
Most Americans hate our government dragging us into foreign wars and are disgusted we are in another senseless pointless war.
Most Americans want our government to be focused on solving problems at home and helping Americans.
I cannot believe this is where we are after all the America First promises were made in 2024.
Though my amendment to strike $3.3 billion in aid to Israel from the State Dept Approps bill did not pass, 104 House Members voted in favor of it. The tide is changing.
Americans want their tax dollars to be spent improving things here at home, not waging war and genocide.
Every Republican Senator voted to merge our military with Israel’s military.
The most America LAST thing they could possibly do, selling our military out to a foreign country.
It’s absolute treason and betrayal.
Seeing women weaponizing their pregnancies for political points by taking Tylenol to spite... Trump? is batshit insane.
Totally. Absolutely. Batshit. Insane.
The amount of lies I see going around about Charlie Kirk is pretty wild. So I'm going to start debunking many of these lies.
Let's start with the lie that he hated gay people.
Many Americans believe Charlie Kirk advocated for gays to be stoned to death.
Stephen King was one.
He apologized. That’s good.
But people celebrating death don’t know.
We’re all in echo chambers.
Clips are driving opinions of strangers.
And it’s putting us all in danger.
For those liberals who say that Charlie Kirk was hateful to transgender people, explain yourselves. Most of you have literally never heard him, and are just parroting what main stream media talking heads have told you about him.
THIS is how Charlie debated and interacted with folks struggling with confusion and dysphoria concerning their biology.👇🏼
You will NOT gaslight your way out of this.
NOT this time.
The Democrat Party must finally look in the mirror, condemn the political violence they’ve unleashed, and apologize for poisoning an entire generation into believing conservatives are “fascist threats” to democracy.
Tyler Robinson got on that roof, took aim, and assassinated Charlie Kirk, because their propaganda worked.
This isn’t my strong suit and I don’t even know how to begin to put into words the loss I am feeling right now over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Charlie wasn’t just a friend — he was like a little brother to me - and to millions of people around the world - he was a true inspiration.
He was one of the most courageous, principled men I’ve ever known, and he lived every day with purpose. His faith in God was unshakable, his love for Erika was inspiring, and the way he adored and cared for his two beautiful kids showed the kind of man he truly was.
Charlie dedicated his life to something bigger than himself. He fought tirelessly for this country, for the values that make America great, and for the next generation. The impact he had on young people — reaching them in masses, giving them courage to stand up, to think for themselves, and to fight for freedom — is immeasurable. There is no question that Charlie’s work and his voice helped my father win the presidency. He changed the direction of this nation.
Charlie was never a threat to anyone. He was civil, he was kind, he listened and responded with respect. The only “threat” he ever posed was that he was incredibly effective. He was a powerful messenger of truth, and people heard that truth. That’s what made him a target.
This loss is absolutely devastating — not only for Erika and the kids, but for our country. We’ve lost a leader, a fighter, and a man whose character and conviction were rare. Too rare. To think that his life was cut short by a brutal, heinous, evil act is beyond comprehension. It is horrible and it is heartbreaking.
Moments like this remind us just how fragile life is. We can’t wait to tell people how much they mean to us — we can’t admire them in silence. Charlie knew he was loved, but I want to say it again: he was a brother to me, and I will carry that with me forever.
I know Charlie’s legacy doesn’t end here. He poured into millions of young people who will carry forward the torch he lit. He built something that will outlast him, because it was grounded in faith, in truth, and in courage. And as his friend, I will never forget him. I’ll honor him by loving boldly, speaking truth without fear, and continuing his spirit of courage. His fight lives on in all of us who loved him.
This is an unimaginable loss. For me, for his family, for everyone who loved him, and for America. Rest in peace, brother. You will be missed more than words can ever say — but your legacy will never be forgotten and we will keep fighting the good fight.
