Trump in San Antonio tonight:
"When the blues get in, everything becomes dirty. The streets are dirty. The doorknobs going into stores are dirty. The sidewalks are filthy dirty."
The doorknobs.
That's the closing argument for Ken Paxton.
Trump is the first president to call for America to be attacked. And his Republican allies said nothing.
They don't care about you, or the country.
Vote Democratic this November. The future of America depends on it.
BREAKING: YES! The Catholic Church hits Trump with a MASSIVE lawsuit after his administration denied access to clergy seeking to administer sacraments to detainees.
This should knock these fascists down a peg or two...
“As a bishop I am responsible for every soul in my archdiocese, and that includes those who are in the prisons,” stated St. Louis Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski. He said that his priests "cannot hear confessions, they cannot celebrate Mass, they cannot give the anointing of the sick to any of the detainees."
Rozanski accused the administration of "robbing the detainees of their rights to have access to these sacraments." His archdiocese has filed a lawsuit alleging that a detention facility in Missouri blocked them from accessing Catholics being held inside, violating their right to receive communion and confession.
The archdiocese says that most of the roughly 150 detainees are Hispanic Catholics. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, the suit names officials at Homeland Security as well as the local sheriff.
It reveals that clergy have been restricted to a paltry four-hour window to meet with detainees at the Saint Genevieve County Jail, and even then they are separated by glass, meaning that they cannot administer the Eucharist. Denying Catholics communion is a grave violation of their religious rights and a clear sign that there is nothing truly "Christian" about this White House.
The officials at the jail suggested that the priests could place the consecrated communion host — which Catholics believe to be the literal, physical body of Jesus Christ — inside a no doubt dirty container, which the guards would then pass along to the detainees. Archbishop Rozanski slammed the idea as "sacrilegious."
The archdiocese is demanding that its clergy be granted a level of access commensurate with their importance to the detainees, which would mean treating them like consular officials or attorneys.

You can reasonably dispute the meaning of a lot Trump says because he’s so incoherent and inarticulate.
But what you can’t reasonably dispute is that he is a sadistic and delusional narcissistic sociopath, at once both psychopathic and psychotic, who is lacking in morality, conscience, empathy, remorse, and impulse control, and whose only concern if a city (in any country, including ours) were to be wiped off the face of the Earth, would be how it affects him.
The first mission of the Church is to help people be attentive to the profound questions of life: those concerning our origin and our destiny, as well as those concerning the meaning of love and suffering. The logic of profit at all costs and the manipulation of information risk exerting undue pressure on people to conform to a lifestyle centred on the consumption of material goods, but our hearts are made to look upwards. #GeneralAudience
Robert De Niro: “They can’t get support from the voters, so what do they do? They try to take our votes away. Keep your fucking hands off our vote. When that coward, that fucking piece of shit Donald Trump tries to take our voice and power away, what do we tell him? Keep your fucking hands off our vote”
Loving you just keeps getting better and better! Happy anniversary, @BarackObama. Here’s to many, many more years of joy, laughter, and memories to come. 💕

🚨 BREAKING: Texas state Rep. Gina Hinojosa has filed an official request to inspect unredacted communications between Gov. Greg Abbott’s office and Elon Musk and his companies, after roughly 1,400 pages of records released last year were heavily redacted.
The state previously argued that portions of the communications could be withheld because they contained “intimate and embarrassing information.”
In a letter sent to Abbott’s office today, Hinojosa invokes a provision of the Texas Public Information Act governing information requested by lawmakers for legislative purposes. She is seeking the same records previously released to the Texas Newsroom, but “without any redactions whatsoever,” including material deemed “embarrassing” or “intimate.”
Hinojosa says the records could shed new light on Musk’s relationship with Abbott, including his companies’ lucrative state contracts and tax incentives, as well as Musk’s campaign contributions. She argues Musk has turned Texas into a corporate playground and says greater transparency is needed to expose what she describes as corruption in Abbott’s relationship with powerful tech interests.
She is requesting that Abbott’s office arrange an inspection of both the redacted and unredacted records on or around October 13.
Now Texans may finally learn what was considered so “intimate and embarrassing” that it was kept from public view.
Europe as we know it, with its spiritual and moral heritage, is rooted in the lives and work of men and women who lived, preached, and shared the teachings of the Gospel. From this heritage, the moral foundations of the world in which we live have been handed down to us: principles such as the primacy of the person and the sacred and inviolable nature of human life; the protection of freedom; the primary importance of the family; care for the poor and those most in need; welcoming the stranger; and respect for the elderly. #ApostolicJourney #France
30 years ago today, I signed the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. In the three decades since, the world has seen only 10 nuclear tests, compared with more than 2,000 in the five decades before. As AI gives us new capabilities we could only have imagined then, we should remember something we learned in the nuclear age: even when countries disagree, we can still work together to reduce the risks we all face. https://t.co/C8McNiRD6q
