All in fun? Hard to be devout if you detest, hate etc. You can prefer another school/team and want them to win over BYU but you are not one to creditably call yourself devout LDS. Any "devout" Cristian would cheer for their team but, detest another? Seems a bit antithetical.

[SupplyGuy @SupplyGuy66]

I have a confession - I am devout LDS and I detest BYU.

@LindaFeder4 @AmazingNature00 Where are you from? The Great Basin covers eastern Nevada and western Utah. We even have a National Park named Great Basin National Park. The mental anguish so many have over Pres. Trump is sad. Life is so much more, and enjoyable, than finding someone or something to hate.

What is to be made of this? This MWEG group is far from ethical. What a ruzse this group is.

@realOCsports Well, even when you still, while back tracking, do not state what was meant by your tweet nor appologize for the confusion but try and deflect show your maturity level. Time to take a vacation and reevaluate your sincerity level.

Scean O'Connell should be suspended and his job should be reevaluated. He is a liability

[McGillicutty @BayCougarfan]

@realOCsports @OCShow801 Grievance: Sean O’Connell spreading false rumors about Legend Glasker. Pretty irresponsible reporting.

What about what California and Minnesota have done ? Defrauding the citizens of Calif., Minn and the entirety of the US seems more serious.

@FoxNews What Secretary Kennedy did against California and Minnesota is cruel and wrong!

@Howard_Sprague @CriddleBenjamin @Howard_Sprague He'll be back playing? Wow, Did Utah bring him on board with the Utes?

[Bill Ellis @ellisbill]

@PaulJElliott @CriddleBenjamin @PaulJElliott how ingnorant can you be? Many who brought charges are members of the church & went to the university. You are more of a hater than one who wants any semblance of justice or mercy for Victim(s). In your mind a whole group is guilty for no reason.

@BOBBYboucher67 @byufan1984 Why not let fans of a team be fans for their team without obnoxious replies like yours?

Two years ago, Alexander "Xander" Kazanowski opened a small antique shop in Chicago.

Trans activists doxxed him and protested his business over his "wrongthink" social media posts. The store eventually closed.

Just weeks ago, while expecting his second child and raising a young daughter, he was bludgeoned to death outside a bar. Police are still searching for four suspects.

Another young father gone in a Democrat-run city where crime festers and certain "opinions" get you targeted.

His kids will grow up without him.

Chicago deserves better. When does accountability start?

[Bill Ellis @ellisbill]

Why do we not see NBC, CNN, ABC, CBS and other Media Outlets report the behavior of these Anti-ICE and Left Wing organizations? They Talk peace but act VIOLENT. Why do their Democratic Leaders promote this behavior?

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨

The FBI has opened an federal criminal investigation into the assault on Savanah Hernandez, according to @mrddmia.

[Jesús Enrique Rosas - The Body Language Guy @Knesix]

So the Pope met with David Axelrod last week. David Axelrod. Obama's campaign architect. A man who is not Catholic, has never met a pope before, and whose entire career has been engineering political narratives for the American left.

And then, by pure coincidence, the Pope immediately started lobbing shots at the Trump administration, and three US Cardinals popped up on 60 Minutes doing the same thing.

All organically, I'm sure.

I'm a practicing Catholic. I need you to understand that part. But in my opinion, Trump has all the right to lash out at him. Maybe you'll disagree, but in the end, Trump talks like Trump. Water is wet. I'm talking about MY Church being run like a DNC satellite office but with a golden throne.

This is the same Vatican that watched governments padlock churches during COVID and said nothing. That let Biden take communion while funding abortion and said nothing. That fired Bishop Strickland for defending actual Church doctrine. That removed Bishop Fernández in Puerto Rico for defending religious exemptions THE CATECHISM ITSELF supports.

But somehow Trump is the threat to human dignity.

Pope Francis was bad. Leo has turned out to be worse. Francis at least was vague about his politics. Leo went and hired the consulting firm.

The man has ignored the slaughter of Christians across Nigeria, the Sahel, India, Syria, Bangladesh, Pakistan. Hundreds of believers murdered, churches burned, pastors kidnapped. His response? Platitudes about dialogue.

OF COURSE he won't even name who's doing the killing.

But he'll fly across continents to make interfaith gestures the week after his people coordinated a media hit on a sitting US president.

The weaponization of belief is obvious. You get the Pope to pick a fight with Trump, and suddenly millions of conservative Catholics have to choose between their faith and their vote.

[Bill Ellis @ellisbill]

It's time for the Pope to focus on the Catholic Church and for Trump to not get so easily offended. Other Catholic Church leaders would also do well to shepard their flocks in Public and leave politics alone & off public platforms like X. A wise leader would seek a face to face.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

I doubt Pope Leo XIV will lose any sleep over this, before he begins his pilgrimage to Africa tomorrow. But the rest of us should. Because it is unhinged, uncharitable and unchristian. Is there no bottom to this moral squalor?

[Bill Ellis @ellisbill]

@SamuelMelton5 You may want to change your Bio. It is not Christian to claim what you claim. Members of The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints (LDS) are some of the most Christian followers of Christ I know.

Arlen, are you looking to question AOC's competancy or the education she recieved from Boston University?

[Arlen Parsa @arlenparsa]

AOC graduated with honors from Boston University with double degrees in Economics and International Relations.

Markwayne was the only Senator without even a bachelor’s degree. Hope that helps.

Hello Politico,

You’ve published 1,500+ words about Senator Mike Lee and the SAVE America Act. Your headline conditioned the reader what to think before the first paragraph: "This is about attention." Your sourcing: five anonymous Republican senators, and a section titled "Leadership ambitions?" whose only function is to ensure the reader leaves believing Lee is just putting on a performance.

The SAVE America Act requires proof of citizenship to register to vote. It passed the House 218-213. The President called it his "#1 priority." Harvard CAPS/Harris found in February 2026 that 75% of Americans support it.

Your article does not contain the phrase "proof of citizenship." It does not mention any polling. It barely has any policy analysis. You have to remove the substance for the false personality smears to land.

Now let’s examine the real reason you wrote this hit job.

In January 2021, three of your staff left and founded Punchbowl News. They took your model with them. Then Jake Sherman said something you never have: on a podcast, he described Punchbowl's revenue as "nearly 90%" from corporate sponsorships." The documented sponsors include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, JPMorgan, Meta, and the American Investment Council.

Turns out, you have the exact same sponsors. PhRMA pays for Politico Focus branded content. JPMorgan Chase is a Politico Focus client. The American Investment Council is a Politico Focus client. Meta sponsors your shows. You have Politico Pro, which charges K Street $10,000 to $30,000 a year for legislative intelligence — and accounted for approximately half your revenue as of 2015, with a 93% renewal rate. Your subscriber base is the lobbying community. They are also your subject matter.

The same corporations fund both outlets. The same K Street audience reads both outlets. And both outlets produce the same framing: leadership is realistic, insurgent senators are attention-seekers, the SAVE Act has "almost no chance." Punchbowl's Andrew Desiderio wrote that. Your Jordain Carney wrote that Lee "doesn't have a realistic path." Two outlets, same sponsors, same audience, same conclusion.

Your own article admits, buried below 1,500 words of anonymous attacks: Lee's pressure produced an open-ended floor debate "next to unheard-of in the modern Senate" and moved Chuck Schumer to concede ground on voter ID. You framed both as asides.

An anonymous senator told you Lee's motivation is "the clicks." Lee does midnight livestreams explaining his position to anyone who wants to listen. Your anonymous senators called Politico. Your alumni left, built the same thing, and told the world what it was.

You never had to. The article does it for you.

Like @PunchbowlNews, you are a K Street sham, Politico. You should have all your Capitol press credentials revoked, because your entire existence is one giant violation of undisclosed lobbying restrictions.
