David Glosser, Stephen Miller’s uncle, told CNN his nephew is an “immigration hypocrite”:
“Had we not been able to enter America when we did, Stephen Miller would not exist” (2018)
Pope Leo at Mass opening Extraordinary Consistory: “War is never worthy of humanity, and it is never blessed by God, because, even if we are equipped with high-tech weapons, the Creator has endowed us with intelligence and free will to resolve conflicts as human beings and not as beasts.” https://t.co/MCHhsoAowT
Every time Ukrainian Defenders return from Russian captivity, they cross the border singing Ukraine's national anthem with tears in their eyes.

A family being terrorized in their own home should shake every one of us. The fact that this happened to Pete Buttigieg’s family, and that anyone in public life now has to brace for this kind of targeted cruelty, is a devastating indictment of what we’ve become. No one should have to live with that fear. I’m heartsick for them, and furious that this is the country we’re handing to our kids.
Indeed. And it's especially fine not to respect presidents who disrespect their office, their oath of office, the Constitution and laws they swore to uphold, honor, decency, morality, truth, humanity, and everything we should be striving ourselves and teaching our children to respect.
President Trump openly suggested Bill Pulte could use his new position to investigate so-called "rigged elections."
The Acting DNI's job is to protect our national security — not hunt for evidence of conspiracy theories that don't exist.
@MichaelSteele@pshene1 For pity’s sake! Stop trying to stuff your religion down other people’s throats! We have Jews and Muslims and all different religions in this country and we don’t have that right! Their religion is just as precious to them as mine is to me.
@MichaelSteele@atrupar Pay heed to the facts👇
John Adams: “The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
James Madison: “Religion and government will both exist in greater purity, the less they are mixed together.”
This is what it sounds like when idiots gather, pound their religious breasts and sow stupidity. The words “separation of church and state” do not appear in the Constitution, but the words are a metaphor (you know what that is, right?) from an 1802 letter written by Thomas Jefferson (since relied on as precedent by our Supreme Court) in which he stated that the First Amendment built a "wall of separation between Church & State."
Jefferson should know what those words meant; so if it’s good enough for him…perhaps the idiocracy should sit down and pick up a book they haven’t burned or banned. #BringBackCivics
Raphael Warnock: The United States of America has become the mass incarceration capital of the world.
Bill Maher: There's a lot of ways to go to jail in America.
Warnock: Unless you're in the Oval Office.
Paigelynne Gonyea, the Syracuse poll worker who federal immigration agents recently confronted at her voting site as she worked an election, said in an interview with Democracy Docket that she’s exploring legal options, including free speech violations. https://t.co/lowmA2GfWC
AOC: Mike Johnson paints this as though it’s some partisan witch hunt. But if you don’t want to be prosecuted for crimes, don’t do crimes.
And he’s talking about running a protection racket. And we are already seeing that this Trump administration has run what some have called one of the largest pedophile protection programs in American history.
And so when Mike Johnson tells a group of wealthy donors, I'm the only thing standing between you, and a consequence that should rattle at the conscience of every American.
What he wants to do is create—or rather, not even create, because it’s already been created—but protect a class of impunity in America that says, “You can commit whatever crime, and so long as you pay a check to us, we will protect you.”
And that is a model of extortion in American politics. And you know what? That’s their pitch.
A federal judge just declared Acting AG Todd Blanche admitted to violating the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
Blanche now has 1 week to release more names and redacted information from the files or explain why the Trump admin withheld them.
Sometimes you have to back up a little bit and think about what things really mean: The top priority of the Trump-led Republican Party is to keep Democrats from voting. That’s their most important policy position right now.
🚨HUGE: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker says he'll SLAP Donald Trump with a major lawsuit if the USPS refuses to collect and deliver every single valid mail ballot.
"We're going to fight like hell to protect your right to vote…we’ll see them in court.”
HANDS OFF OUR VOTES.
MAGA Republicans are modern heirs to the Know-Nothings, the anti-immigration bigots, the 1920s Klan,
the anti-civil rights Jim Crow die-hards
sadly, fear, hatred and racism are always with us
