People aren’t going hungry because we can't feed the poor. People are going hungry because we can't satisfy the rich.

Let us #PrayTogether that we might again learn how to discern, to know how to choose paths of life and reject everything that leads us away from Christ and the Gospel. #PrayerIntention @clicktopray_en #ClickToPray

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is disheartening to see today that the strength of international law and humanitarian law no longer seems binding, replaced by the presumed right to overpower others. This is unworthy and shameful for humanity and for the leaders of nations.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In the face of hatred and violence, what can we Christians do? First of all, we must pray. It is up to us to turn every tragic news story and image that touches us into a cry of intercession to God. Then, we must help others. But there is more—there is witness, our call to remain faithful to Jesus, who conquered evil by loving from the cross.

If we as Americans want protest to be effective, it needs to be happening more than a few Saturdays a year and it needs to lead to other forms of organization against the State.

Otherwise it is just a parade and it does absolutely nothing to threaten power.

BREAKING: The 7,000 IRS agents fired by Trump and DOGE appear to have mainly been employees who worked in the Large Business and International (LB&I) division, which audits companies with more than $10 million in assets and high-income individuals.

Weird, right? It’s almost as if they are trying to help Billionaires and cut the revenue of the US, meaning that the middle class will suffer.

Trump is not mediating a peace deal between Ukraine and Russia. Instead, he is trying to force Ukraine to surrender, giving Putin everything he wants.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

Remember, Putin knows he’s LOSING.

He is DESPERATE to find a way out of Ukraine that allows him to save face and declare victory — or else he will lose power.

But Trump bungled the mission — and the rest of the world is rallying around Ukraine again.

Putin is FAILING.

BREAKING: British Columbia Premier David Eby says his Province will pass legislation allowing it to tax U.S. trucks driving through Canada to Alaska, as it ramps up retaliation to President Trump's tariffs.

He says that Americans are going to "understand how pissed off we are" at Trump's stupid trade war.

“We are not going to accept these continual threats, this continued uncertainty. We are going to stand up for Canadian. This is unacceptable. And we’re gong to ensure the Americans understand how pissed off we are. how committed we are.”

BREAKING: Federal judge deals Donald Trump a huge black eye by ruling that he illegally fired the head of the National Labor Relations Board, accusing him of "pushing the bounds of his office," and declaring that he is "not a king."

This is a major setback for the fascist MAGA movement...

U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled that the widely criticized firing of NLRB head Gwynne Wilcox was in fact "an illegal act" and "a blatant violation of the law."

In her lawsuit, Wilcox pointed out that federal law clearly stats that NLRB board members can only be terminated for "neglect of duty or malfeasance in office but for no other cause." Notice must be given and a hearing held.

"The President’s excuse for his illegal act cannot be sustained," Judge Howell wrote in a fiery 36-page ruling.

"The President seems intent on pushing the bounds of his office and exercising his power in a manner violative of clear statutory law to test how much the courts will accept the notion of a presidency that is supreme," she wrote.

"An American President is not a king – not even an ‘elected’ one – and his power to remove federal officers and honest civil servants like plaintiff is not absolute, but may be constrained in appropriate circumstances, as are present here," she added.

The judge's order reinstates Kaplan as a board member to the NLRB although it does allow Trump's new chairperson Marvin Kaplan to remain in place.

The MAGA Justice Department will appeal the ruling to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals. If there's any legitimacy left in our judicial institutions, Trump will lose again.

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip:

He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress.

He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession.

He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law.

Keep fighting.

[U.S. Representative Al Green @RepAlGreen]

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome

[Cory Booker @CoryBooker]

Trump is overestimating his support and overplaying his hand.

We’re about six weeks in and voters—including many Republican voters—increasingly don’t like what they see.

A quick breakdown of recent polling shows how unpopular Trump/Musk have become with the American people🧵📉

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right.

The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter.

Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

I went to the Senate floor to lay out for my colleagues the stunning story of brazen, open corruption during the first 6 weeks of the Trump presidency.

I think it's a story everyone needs to know.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
