BREAKING: MAGA world melts down as Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde calls Donald Trump out directly to his face during a sermon at the National Cathedral — urging him to find compassion and mercy.
This is the last thing Trump expected today...
"I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared. There are gay, lesbian, transgender children, Democratic, Republican, independent families — some who fear for their lives," the reverend said as Trump sat in the pews.
She said that millions of Americans "put their trust in you."
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals — they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals," she added.
Destroying Republicans lies about migrants, she said that those workers "pay taxes" and are "faithful members" of American churches, mosques, synagogues, and mosques.
Appealing to empathy that Trump lacks, she said that the children of those migrants "fear their parents are going to be taken away."
"Find compassion," she added, urging him to help vulnerable people fleeing from war zones and persecution — a tall ask for a man as demonstrably anti-refugee as Trump.

BREAKING: Donald Trump’s nominee for Attorney General is rocked by bombshell bad news as a report from the NAACP reveals that she has a history of “undermining” voting rights.
And it gets so much worse…
Pam Bondi, the blatantly corrupt woman who Trump wants the lead the Department of Justice, previously served as Florida’s Attorney General and as the chair of the far-right America First Policy Institute. The report says that the work she did in both positions makes her “unfit” to serve as AG.
“Ms. Bondi has a record of limiting voting rights, baselessly undermining faith in U.S. elections, and encouraging politically motivated prosecutions as an act of vengeance,” the report states.
“By contrast, DOJ has historically played a vital role in protecting the right to vote, a function that has become even more important in a post-Shelby County v. Holder era in which there has been a widespread effort across the country, particularly in the South, to limit the voting rights of Black communities and other communities of color,” it goes on.
“DOJ has also been central to the federal government’s efforts to ensure free and fair elections and to the upholding the principle of equal justice under law,” it continues.
While serving as Florida attorney general she was on the state clemency board where she abused her position and “used unfettered discretion to deny formerly incarcerated individuals the right to vote.”
On top of that, Bondi worked up a new law that required Floridians to wait at least five years before they could even request to have their rights restored — a transparent effort to disenfranchise voters to help Republicans.
As a result, Black Floridians of voting age were disproportionately adversely affected, with 25% of them ending up disenfranchised.
“Ms. Bondi’s record of actively seeking to limit voting rights, coupled with her attempts to undermine the integrity of our elections by supporting President-Elect Trump’s baseless claims that the 2020 election was stolen, should raise grave concerns among Senators who will be tasked with considering her nomination,” the report reads.
And it somehow gets even worse…
Bondi also backed the false claims that Trump won the 2020 election, going so far as to represent a member of the Fulton County Board of Election and arguing that the election could be decertified based on the “mere suspicion of voter fraud.”
The report concludes by bluntly stating that Bondi is “wholly unfit to lead the Justice Department and poses a threat to the independence and integrity of this critical agency.”
We couldn’t agree more. If confirmed, Bondi would be the least qualified, most corrupt Attorney General in American history.
