🚨 Pope Leo XIV just declared the Iran War unjust.

Called it a war crime.

Said it is “not solving anything.”

Then told Americans directly: call Congress. End this war.

The same Pope Trump called weak on crime.
The same Pope Trump fabricated a nuclear quote from.
The same Pope whose brother received a bomb threat after Trump attacked him.

The same Pope Speaker Johnson lectured on theology.

1.4 billion Catholics heard their leader call this war a crime.

The Trump administration is repealing a rule that prevents power plants from releasing hundreds of millions of gallons of toxic mercury and arsenic into drinking water.

Trump is allowing 500k more Chinese students to enter America, and he's allowing the Chinese government to buy more American farm land while 46% of American farms are on the brink of foreclosure. Did you vote for this, MAGA? You did.

Breaking: The Texas Supreme Court just shut down Greg Abbott’s effort to remove Democrats from office for opposing his gerrymandering.

Steve Harness: “When is a reporter gonna snap back and say don’t you fucking talk to me that way? I’m a goddamned adult. I’m here working. You work for us, asshole. Go fuck yourself. Somebody, for the love of God, I will buy the Pulitzer for you if you will just tell this man how fucking dare you, do not talk to me that way”

The Supreme Court is not even pretending to be impartial anymore. Republicans can redistrict but Democrats can’t.

[Congressman Pat Harrigan @RepPatHarrigan]

For 20 years, a $6 knob that takes one hour to 3D print has been grounding Black Hawk helicopters four times a month, and the contractor responsible won't sell us the part or the IP rights to fix it ourselves.

So instead, American taxpayers have been paying $40,000 every single time to replace the entire system, multiplied by four times a month, for two decades.

That is NOT a procurement problem, that is a shakedown, and it is exactly why right to repair has to be in this year's NDAA.

CNN’s @KFILE reveals the man leading the hantavirus response in the U.S. is a specialist in penile implants with little public health experience and hosted a podcast called “Erection Connection.”

The worst part of Covid was that 20 million people died

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

The next President needs to claw back every dollar Trump steals from the American taxpayer in these phony settlements. What a travesty.

Journalist Jim Acosta noticed that there are two staging areas in the traffic circle right across from the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery which looks like Trump is going to start construction of his Arch without approval from Congress & no work is being done to the pool

ICE rammed a U.S. citizen's car with his infant and toddler inside.

They detonated flash-bang grenades. Pointed assault rifles at the family. Filmed the whole thing and posted it online.

The man's name is Antonio Valdovinos. He's a carpenter. Born in Long Beach, California.

His crime? He attended an anti-ICE protest.

A federal judge later ruled the arrest was a "vindictive effort to impose extrajudicial punishment."

This is what suppressing dissent looks like when the state has cameras.

Who approved this operation?

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

Wendy was arrested by local police and detained. She begged officers not to keep Oliver, her 3 year old, separate from her. ICE refused. Her beautiful, kind son is now dead.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

I regret to inform you the Acting AG is no longer America’s attorney, he’s trump’s attorney.

@DAGToddBlanche works under a giant banner of trump’s face. He said “I love you, sir” to trump. He doesn’t enforce the rule of law, he enforces the rule of trump.

November is coming.

“WE NEED TO LET THEM DO INSIDER TRADING TO FEED THEIR FAMILIES”

That was the actual argument just made in defense of politicians trading stocks.

Members of Congress make $174,000 a year.

The median American income is roughly $63,000. (3x less)

Meanwhile the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour… also unchanged since 2009.

And you’re seriously being told politicians need access to insider trading to survive.

The system is designed to lead earth to neo-feudalism.

And it’s becoming more brazen by the year.

Asset ownership consolidates upward.

Living standards decline downward.

The middle class gets squeezed from both ends and disappears while the elite class accumulates more wealth, more influence, and more protection.

Leaving behind a permanent underclass.

And a permanent political-financial aristocracy at the top…

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

These gerrymandered maps only work if we don’t show up.

That is what they are counting on.

These maps will break under the pressure of turnout.

You really can't make this shit up.
Eichorn faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years.

“If y’all could give us less than zero seats you would do it…The MAGA party is the last breath of the Confederacy."

Nailed it.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Stone cold racism on a scale I have NEVER seen in my lifetime is happening in real time. 

Louisiana Governor Landry suspended a primary election — where tens of thousands of people had ALREADY VOTED — to redistrict and eliminate Black representation.

Our country is supposed to be about the expansion of liberty and freedom. We're seeing the exact opposite.
