Before every Nativity scene, including those set up in our homes, we relive the birth of Jesus. We rediscover the need to seek moments of silence and prayer in our lives, in order to find ourselves and enter into communion with God. #Christmas

🚨 Fox News just aired one of the most dangerous things ever said on live TV.

Brian Kilmeade, while discussing crime and homelessness, floated the idea of “involuntary lethal injection” for mentally ill homeless people.

His exact words:

“Just kill them.”

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

[Patrick S. Tomlinson @stealthygeek]

We should really all be retweeting this daily.

[Stefanie Cooper 🌻 @SamFox96]

@ChrisMurphyCT Normally I agree with most of what you say. However, doing something that’s wrong because “the other side is doing it” doesn’t make it right.

The people breaking the rules should be held accountable for their actions not be held up as a blueprint for your/our actions.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

With a few days distance from this event, it reeks even worse.

If government data just becomes propaganda and the leader gets to make up whatever numbers he wants, it becomes impossible for a democracy to function. This is not a small moment.

.@DeptVetAffairs' @SecVetAffairs said "mission-critical" positions like doctors & nurses were exempt from the deferred resignation option.
But 214 nurses, 35 doctors, and 24 police were on the DRP list we received through a FOIA request. https://t.co/Vg1axxGu1W

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

All of us need to ask the Lord to heal our way of communicating, not only so that we may be more effective, but also so that we may avoid wounding others with our words.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.

The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.

They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.

Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.

And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.

"I am the flag of the United States of America. My name is Old Glory."

Since being adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, the Stars and Stripes has stood watch with all American service members in the defense of freedom.

Happy #FlagDay!

BREAKING: The US Marines have detained a US citizen in Los Angeles. This is the first time in known US history that the marines have been used in this way to detain an American without the Insurrection Act being invoked.

The Posse Comitatus Act (1878) Prohibits the use of the U.S. military (Army and Air Force, and by extension Navy and Marines under DoD policy) to enforce domestic laws without explicit Congressional or constitutional authorization.

In other words, Trump is breaking the law once again.

🇬🇪A country once seen as the democratic bright spot of the post-Soviet space is now undergoing the fastest authoritarian regression in modern European history.

Sen. @ChrisMurphyCT fires back at Joni Ernst's Medicaid comments: Everybody "knows they're going to die. They would just rather die in old age."

People are saying Ukraine’s attack is “Russia’s Pearl Harbor” except Pearl Harbor was an unprovoked attack on a “neutral” country.

Perhaps comparing it to the Doolittle Raid is better: it was a retaliation for the attack on Ukraine and was likely good for Ukrainian morale.

[U.S. Air Force @usairforce]

On this day in 1942, 80 Airmen launched the daring Doolittle Raid, an unprecedented operation & defining symbolic moment during WWII.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF.

This isn’t a good idea even if the plane was being donated to the U.S. government. But Trump GETS TO KEEP THE PLANE??? It’s simply a cash payment to Trump in exchange for favors. Just wildly illegal.
