WOW! Thomas Massie and Tucker just gave the president a primary truth of their own.

Massie went off on Trump. He said the White House dragged Lauren Boebert into an interrogation room to bully her into removing her name from the Epstein petition.

Massie says Trump told Marjorie Taylor Greene to her face that the death threats against her kids were her fault. He blamed the victim and called her out for getting threats.

Massie called him despicable to his face.

$32 million from Trump's billionaire buddies to crush one congressman for asking about Epstein files.

You know, billionaire buddies like Elon Musk—who's in the Epstein files himself.

The "law and order" party, everybody. Blame the moms, protect the predators, and let the billionaires buy the silence.

🇺🇸🚨BREAKING: MAGA influencer Craig Long — “MAGA to the core,” 560K TikTok followers, photographed with Trump — was just arrested in a human trafficking sting.

He’s married.

He frequently posted videos praising the sheriff who just arrested him.

Sheriff Judd’s response at the press conference:

“Well, there you go. You got arrested in a human trafficking sting. Influence that for a while.”

Never stop connecting the dots.

Just before the prayer vigil for peace and the recitation of the Holy Rosary began in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV made a surprise appearance in St. Peter’s Square to greet and bless the faithful who were unable to enter the Basilica. He thanked them for their presence, called on everyone to become “bearers of peace,” and said that, in the light of the Risen Christ, a new peace is possible — one that unites all peoples as brothers and sisters. Entrusting the crowd and their loved ones to God’s care, he concluded by invoking Mary, Queen of Peace.

Tenderness is not weakness, it is fortitude.”

God help us. This is disgraceful language coming from a Christian, or anyone with a soul. It was just as wrong to celebrate the death of Charlie Kirk as it is to celebrate that of Robert Mueller. May they rest in peace. And may we never forget that Jesus's message is about mercy.

Thank you for posting this and getting yourself kicked out of the gym. You did my job for me.

Pope Leo XIV speaks off the cuff against Trump’s new war in Iran and calls for peace in the Middle East:

“I’m deeply concerned, and we don’t know how many days it will last, about the situation in the Middle East,” he said.

“War again! And we must be heralds of Jesus’ peace, which God desires for everyone! We must pray much for peace, live in unity, and reject the temptation to harm others; violence is never the right choice.”

The taxpayer-funded renaming of Palm Beach International to “President Donald J. Trump Airport” is an unprecedented grift.

It’s unethical, it’s corrupt, and I refuse to support the legislature’s effort to subsidize Trump’s continued profiteering from public office.

BREAKING: NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte confronts Trump to his face about the lies he’s told about NATO. Rutte reminds Trump that soldiers from NATO nations fought and died alongside U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. This confrontation was long overdue.

Today is the Feast of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, the titular feast of the @JesuitsGlobal.When St. Ignatius Loyola proposed calling his new religious order "the Society of Jesus," many protested, calling it presumptuous, even arrogant. But Ignatius was firm: we are a "compañia" (or "societas") gathered under the name of Jesus.

Were Jesus, Mary and Joseph refugees?

In today’s Feast of the Holy Family, we read of Jesus, Mary and Joseph fleeing the murderous designs of an evil king and journeying to Egypt, a traditional refugee for Jewish people of the time, as Joan Taylor points out in her new book “Boy Jesus.”

So it’s not surprising that in 1952, Pope Pius XII wrote this: “The émigré Holy Family of Nazareth, fleeing into Egypt, is the archetype of every refugee family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, living in exile in Egypt to escape the fury of an evil king, are, for all times and all places, the models and protectors of every migrant, alien and refugee of whatever kind who, whether compelled by fear of persecution or by want, is forced to leave his native land, his beloved parents and relatives, his close friends, and to seek a foreign soil.”

The theme of the Holy Family as refugees and migrants was also taken up by St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis. In fact, the Holy Family more than satisfies the classic definition of a refugee as someone fleeing a “well-founded fear of persecution.” Today some people say, “They weren’t really refugees since they were still traveling within the Roman Empire.”

But anyone who thinks that a poor family from Galilee would think of Egypt, hundreds of miles away, with an entirely different language and culture, as their homeland, is fooling themselves. Besides, as the New Testament scholar Daniel Harrington points out in the Sacra Pagina commentary on this passage, Egypt was clearly outside the jurisdiction of King Herod, that is, a different land.

And the Greek word that Matthew’s Gospel uses is a key: it’s “pheuge,” to flee, one of the ancient roots of the word “refugee.”

When we think of refugees, migrants and internally displaced peoples today, we are invited to remember the Holy Family, the “archetype,” as Pope Pius XII said, of “every refugee family.” And we should treat them accordingly.
