The actions of a man charged with a heinous crime have derailed the lawful U.S. immigration applications of people from 18 countries so far, including Afghanistan. Afghans are facing uncertainty at home and in the U.S.
Read why we can't turn our back on Afghans and other immigrants due to one man's crime: https://t.co/ZWs15CvdC2
Excellent journalism. Keep holding them accountable, @ABC
On @MikeJohnson's judgement day, he will have to explain to God why he defended & protected predators instead of standing up for their victims.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care. We as lawmakers, especially those of us who proclaim a devout faith, have a special obligation to heal people, not make them sicker
We are deeply concerned about this unfolding case. Academic freedom, which Texas A&M endorses, refers to instructors’ right to teach in their area of expertise free from government interference. https://t.co/tUZCsNhXj5
@BradBuckleyDVM Calling it school choice is a lie. The choice has always been there. The only new thing is Republicans wanting to use taxpayer money to fund the choice.
@Timcast You realize you can modify amendments, right?
Republicans could have proposed a modification to protect victims, but chose to protect pedos instead.
Another day, another Republican politician who either doesn't understand or pretends to not understand what due process means.
Call me radical but I don't think our post-Pearl Harbor treatment of Japanese people is the blueprint we ought to follow. Did we learn nothing?
Q: “Are you going to make sure that all the [immigrants detained]…have due process?…These people are not seeing a judge.”
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith: “They don't have a right to see a judge…When the Japanese were bombing Pearl Harbor, did we give them due process?”

@CalltoActivism Now it seems Ken Paxton and Greg Abbott want to charge the Democrats with felonies for standing up and walking out on the republicans gerrymandering attempt…to that I quote John Lewis:
“Get in the way and make good trouble!”
Ken Paxton wants Democrats arrested for refusing to help rig an election.
That’s rich coming from a guy indicted on three felony counts of securities fraud, accused by eight of his top deputies of bribery, abuse of office, and using his position to benefit his billionaire buddy Nate Paul—while allegedly using burner phones, secret emails, and fake names to dodge accountability.
@ronnieagabajr@GlobalUpdates24 And, when the day of judgement comes, God will not condemn you for not fighting hard enough to prevent other people's "sins"...that would be impossible. He will instead ask why you were so focused on their faults that you ignored your own, and caused them harm in the process.
Marriage Is a Union of Love, Not a Rulebook
Pope Leo XIV recently declared, "Marriage is only possible between a man and a woman." While this reflects a traditional perspective rooted in certain religious doctrines, it confines the infinite nature of love to a narrow box. Love can not be caged by definitions or restricted by rules. It is a vibrant, living force that flourishes where hearts align—between people, not prescriptions. With respect, I urge Pope Leo XIV to let love live, to embrace its beauty in all its forms, and to see marriage as a sacred bond between souls who find peace, joy, and fulfillment in each other, regardless of gender.
Love does not require a man and a woman to be whole. It thrives when two people discover in each other a home—a space of comfort, laughter, and shared dreams. Marriage is the celebration of that connection, a vow to nurture it through life’s joys and challenges. To insist it must only be between a man and a woman is to overlook the radiance of countless relationships that are equally profound. Same-sex couples, for instance, create homes filled with the same devotion, care, and happiness as any other. Their love is no less sacred, no less real, and no less deserving of the name “marriage.”
The world is evolving, and so is our understanding of love and family. Across societies, people are redefining marriage—not as a rigid institution, but as a living expression of commitment. In many nations, laws now recognize love between people of any gender, affirming that joy and fulfillment know no boundaries. These unions are not a rejection of faith but a fulfillment of its deepest call: to love one another with patience, kindness, and openness.
To Pope Leo XIV(@Pontifex), I say gently: do not dictate who can find solace in another’s heart. Love is not a doctrine to enforce; it is a gift to cherish. When two people choose each other—not out of duty, but out of joy—they create something divine, no matter who they are. The Church teaches that love is patient and kind. Let it also teach that love is free—free to blossom between any two souls who find in each other their peace, their purpose, and their joy.
Let us step beyond cages. Let us honor marriage as a union of love, not a rulebook. Let us celebrate every couple who builds a life together, facing the world hand in hand. Above all, let us let love live—in all its beautiful, boundless forms.
A presidency built on HATE, straight from the horse's mouth.
How anyone can call themselves a Christian while supporting the actions and rhetoric of this man is beyond me. It all goes against Jesus' very teachings, and they will have to answer to Him.
How ironic. The "pro-life" party was complicit in an unwanted abortion. This story makes me sick.
@nashvillebanner thank you for telling her story. No one else is.
@RepLouCorrea "After she was arrested by ICE in Lenoir City, Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus ended up at the Richwood Correctional Center in Louisiana, where she experienced the unimaginable. After pleading for medical help for days, she lost her mid-term pregnancy."
