This is the best synopsis I’ve seen of where exactly we are right now.

[Jay Nordlinger @jaynordlinger]

Every day, a Watergate. Therefore, no Watergate at all. That is one of Trump's "superpowers." https://t.co/xCt3mXTMf4

[Michael McFaul @McFaul]

I was and remain against Trumps war in Iran.

There was no imminent threat of our homeland being attacked by Iran.

Now that we are in it, I want our warriors to win as fast possible with the fewest amount of casualties and loss of civilian life.

But I still don’t know what the definition of winning is.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Talarico: They want us focused on how we're different, instead of on how we're the same. Because our unity is a threat to their wealth and their power. So they so they divide us on an hourly basis, by party, by race, by gender, by religion. So we don't notice that they are picking our pockets, they are closing our schools, they're gutting our health care, they're raising taxes on all of us while they cut taxes for themselves. 

The real fight in this country is not left versus right. It's top versus bottom. Those billionaires want us looking left and right at our neighbors instead of looking up at them.

Pope Leo: For Lent, fast from words that hurt others, disarm language, avoid rash judgment, refrain from speaking ill of those who can't defend themselves. Let's cultivate kindness, respect in our families, friends, at work, on social media, in political debates, in parishes.

“The Catholic Church isn’t a country club. A club exists to serve its member. The Church exists to go out and serve all people. We exist to follow Jesus who fed the hungry, healed the sick, rejected hatred, and proclaimed love.” — Archbishop Hicks

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Trump pardoned a man who helped the cartels make billions trafficking cocaine into the U.S. Trump freed him because he was Trump’s political ally and because he sent a four-page letter to Trump saying he was a better president than Biden. Maduro should’ve just sent Trump a check or sponsored the ballroom.

BTW, Maduro’s successor seems to have directed half a million to Trump’s inauguration. Someone should look into that.

The fact is, it pays to be friends with the president. It pays to kiss this president’s ass. And if you really need something, you can always just pay the president—whether you’re a sheikh, a felon, or a kingpin. There’s a buffet of corrupt options.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I'm so torn right now.

Despite its problems, I still love America, my country of birth, the only country I have ever lived in.

I'm torn because of the glee I feel as our Vice President, JD Vance, is drenched in thunderous boos at the Olympics. I really can't stand that lying sack of shit, but he's there sadly representing our country.

JD Vance represents the absolute worst that America has to offer, he is an embarrassment.

BTW -- that's why trump isn't going to the Super Bowl, he would be booed into oblivion.

I remember, as a kid, learning the "Pledge of Allegiance" and "My Country Tis of Thee," and learning the words to the "Star Spangled Banner" and "God Bless America." I still have national pride.

Just because I'm liberal, it doesn't make me any less patriotic. There's some kind of idiotic myth, pushed by morons on the right, that if you criticize America or you criticize the President, that means you hate America.

These hypocrites have the audacity to say that, after spending 8 years criticizing President Obama, and another 4 years criticizing President Biden.

I despise the way Vance has chosen to represent America, behind a wall of lies and hypocrisy used to justify the hateful actions taken against fellow Americans and anyone who looks like they might have been born in another country.

If you are a patriot, you love our Constitution. If you're a patriotic elected official, you've sworn an OATH to defend the Constitution and all its amendments, even those that are inconveniently impeding your quest to remove as many Brown people as possible.

And if you are a patriot, it is your DUTY to speak up when you see things aren't right, when you see people making us look bad, when you see others being hurt, oppressed, or treated with cruelty.

When you love something or someone, you correct them when they're wrong, because you expect THE BEST from them.

THAT is what it means to be American.

So yeah, BOOOO to that lying hypocrite JD Vance, and his "Haitians are eating cats and dogs" and his smug, mascara eyes looking in the camera, and his refusal to apologize for lying about Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

ALSO, hooray to our AMAZING American athletes, I will be rooting for you at the Olympics, hooray for all those people who told Vance to suck it.

And hooray for America, which I still love but excuse our appearance while we are under shitty new management.🇺🇸

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

American Catholics, in particular, cannot shrug this off or hide in our pews. We are no longer a powerless minority in this country; we are a community tens of millions strong, with resources, institutions, media platforms, and yes — even a pope from our homeland.

We have a voice, and a moral duty to use it.

If we decide collectively that Trump and Vance should no longer lead this country, rest assured, they will no longer be in charge.

If we won’t stand up now against blatant injustice and state violence, who will? If we won’t call a lie a lie, who are we serving? God certainly doesn’t need our complicity with evil. We’re called to be disciples of truth and just. We must not be handmaidens of this dictatorship of lies. https://t.co/MbAzQnNtQy

Amy other president in US History would be done for this one act. For this president, it’s simply another day.

[ABC News @ABC]

President Trump has installed plaques underneath portraits of presidents at the White House, using them to insult and make unfounded claims about some of his predecessors, including Joe Biden and Barack Obama.

@DaungerField @timony001 @mxproimagescom Blatantly false. This Act allows for strict prosecution of drug traffickers anywhere in the world. There is nothing in it about “firing upon”.

No. Nobody said this to him.

EVERYTHING this administration does is for show, and the lies come so easily.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

But then they go out to their press conferences, where we can’t fact-check them in real time, and keep trying to spout that lie. The American people aren’t buying it.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

In the last few years we've seen:

- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk

Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.

The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.

Wise words from ⁦@Pontifex⁩

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

This is good 💯

Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital.
“The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches...
They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports...
It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.
A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar...
In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist...
A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care...
A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor...
It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing.
The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss.
A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence.
This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people.
Do not criticize your body too much.
Do not complain excessively.
Do not lose sleep over bills.
Make sure to hug your loved ones.
Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless.
Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance.
You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect...
Listen, perfection does not exist.
A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here.
Here, we are given an opportunity to learn.
So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now.
Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you.
Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere.
Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely!
And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.”
—Pope Francis

[EWTN Global Catholic Network @EWTN]

Eternal rest grant unto Pope Francis, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace.
