@SecRollins @forestservice There are lots of National forests east of the Mississippi. Moving the USFS Headquarters from DC is unnecessary and incredibly damaging to national efforts to protect public lands.

@SenFettermanPA It’s not generous; it’s illegal for a private entity to pay public servants.

@SocraticSand @WCKitchen World Central Kitchen has been in western North Carolina since Helene hit. https://t.co/Vodd6IqMRR. Also, the Federal benefits you listed don’t help with rent and food when the paychecks stop. There is plenty of compassion to go around to all of those suffering in our world.

@fawfulfan In 2023, USAID purchased over a million tons of US crops. The Trump Administration’s destruction of USAID is also a factor.

@laurenboebert No means no.

@AmyMcGrathKY I am appalled by this. It is not funny at all, mostly because he believes he is qualified. Also, the fact that it was posted by the White House account is disgusting.

@atrupar Wonder what kind of work he recommends for the dementia patients in nursing homes receiving Medicaid?

@WickyDubs2 They want to break it so they can privatize its functions and enrich their buddies. NOAA is also being punished for their scientific work on climate change. Such a sad day among many sad days…

Actually no. This misses the point of Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10: 25-37). After Jesus tells a lawyer that you should "love your neighbor as yourself," the lawyer asks him, "And who is my neighbor?"

In response, Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man who has been beaten by robbers and is lying by the side of the road. The man is helped not by those closest to him (a "priest" and a "Levite"), but rather by a Samaritan. At the time, Jews and Samaritans would have considered one another enemies.

So Jesus's fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It's specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our "neighbors."

But Jesus's deeper point can only be understood from the point of view of the beaten man: our ultimate salvation depends, as it did for that man, upon those whom we often consider to be the "stranger."

@EPA @POTUS Try focusing on the Agency’s mission: to protect human health and the environment.

@SenTinaSmith The Republican idea of government is to defund and destroy government programs in order to justify privatizing them and enriching their donors.

@LOmbredelarue @womensart1 *Monumental Women

[Mimi Dannel @DannelMimi]

@LOmbredelarue @womensart1 There is a group, “Monumentsl Women” that is trying to form a coalition to have the sculpture cast in bronze. https://t.co/23I2hnLfUr
