Inflation is up, economic growth is down and the Trump-backed Republican candidate in the Westchester County Executive race was defeated by more than 25 points.
Extreme MAGA Republicans spent last year promising to lower costs.
And lying about their connection to Project 2025.
They have spent this year implementing the extreme Project 2025 agenda.
And haven’t done a damn thing to lower the high cost of living.
@LeaderJohnThune Please confirm that you fully support ALL actions taken by Elon Musk & his cohorts, none of whom were elected nor have adequate security clearance to have full access to Americans' personal data. (BTW, you know they've targeted Lutheran Social Services?)
@brianschatz Sincere thanks for standing up for our Constitution and for democracy! Congress appropriates funds, not the Executive Branch; and the Executive Branch cannot unilaterally ignore the law. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
@DouthatNYT You need to change your profile picture again @DouthatNYT; you've lost more hair and gotten 'heavier' than the last time. Maybe get out a bit more? Or are you angling for the DJT2.0 body type? Sad.
@BBCWorld Who cares? I'm used to junk fluff like this from US news outlets, but I expect better from the BBC. Or is this just an offering to the X Overlord?
Actually no. This misses the point of Jesus's Parable of the Good Samaritan (Lk 10: 25-37). After Jesus tells a lawyer that you should "love your neighbor as yourself," the lawyer asks him, "And who is my neighbor?"
In response, Jesus tells the story of a Jewish man who has been beaten by robbers and is lying by the side of the road. The man is helped not by those closest to him (a "priest" and a "Levite"), but rather by a Samaritan. At the time, Jews and Samaritans would have considered one another enemies.
So Jesus's fundamental message is that *everyone* is your neighbor, and that it is not about helping just your family or those closest to you. It's specifically about helping those who seem different, foreign, other. They are all our "neighbors."
But Jesus's deeper point can only be understood from the point of view of the beaten man: our ultimate salvation depends, as it did for that man, upon those whom we often consider to be the "stranger."
Trump is holding all the nation’s hospitals and vital services hostage to seize power from Congress and hand it over to billionaires.
We must state the truth: this is a constitutional crisis. It’s a massive, illegal power grab that the House and Senate have a sworn duty to stop.
#OnThisDay in 1972, Shirley Chisholm — the first Black woman elected to Congress — became the first Black person in history to run for a major party’s nomination for President of the United States.
We are forever inspired by Rep. Chisholm’s barrier-breaking legacy. 🙌🏾
@RepMikeLawler Tell us, Mike, do you support the Blue or don't you? Or, you do some of the time, and when you don't, you're okay when law enforcement officers are beaten by lawless thugs? We'll wait.
