GOOD NEWS: State Dept. has approved shipping to resume, allowing NGOs to distribute the $560 million of American-grown food aid sitting in US & global ports to those in need. Thanks to @SecRubio for helping make certain this life-saving aid gets to those in need before it spoils.

NEWS - Investigation by the NYT team looking at Trump's finances. "Donald J. Trump paid $750 in federal income taxes the year he won the presidency. In his first year in the White House, he paid another $750." https://t.co/n1lHxhixN9

[Bill O'Keefe @okeefebill]

Yes this is exactly the point. Folks should visit too countries where the military quashes protests....

I advise those who disagree to spend some time in a country destroyed by political violence. Or read about one.

“Pitting the armed forces against American citizens is the last resort of authoritarians and tyrants from Caracas, Venezuela to Tiananmen Square, China”

This by @anneapplebaum is an exceptional piece. Confirmation that some of the very best work on the Trump era has been by those familiar with Soviet-era authoritarianism https://t.co/ZY19cIRpoE

@OnPointRadio @RanaForoohar @SingletaryM Great interview. Is it also true that much of the Trump corporate tax cuts went to stock buybacks, the value of which has shrunk. Propping up the stock market is propping up those we already propped up.

Across all of our programs, we're making changes to protect our staff, partners & the people we serve from #COVID19. In #SouthSudan, we're teaching participants in our @USAIDFFP Resilience & Food Security Program about reducing the risk of transmission & symptoms of #coronavirus.

[CatholicRelief @CatholicRelief]

In #Ethiopia, we're working quickly to move 56 tons of @USAIDFFP food from our warehouses to rural areas before #COVID19 makes it more difficult to distribute the food to vulnerable communities. #CatholicCares #CaritasOnCOVID19

Finding W.H. Auden’s poem September 1, 1939 even more resonant than when I read it years ago. On the 80th anniversary of that day—give it a read! https://t.co/mJIa4rx69L.

...morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.

@SenatorCardin As a Baltimore resident, I urge you to vigorously oppose military action against Iran. The Administration’s failure to pursue serious diplomatic avenues is not an excuse for war.

[Bill O'Keefe @okeefebill]

@lourdesgnavarro Not sure there was a plan past yesterday. Lots of tactics, no strategy. The using aid as bait for confrontation strategy so far has only “worked” in a limited sense.

Yesterday in Mission Texas there was a protest against the border wall.

People are not trained to diagnose their own racism. People are trained to deny their own racism.

@lourdesgnavarro take a listen to this half way through about raising boys/young men. Really thoughtful. Thought to send to you during your interview with former white nationalist.

@lourdesgnavarro For me a good sermon takes the lessons of the Gospel and applies them to earthly realities: that in part is what sustains my spirit.

[Bill O'Keefe @okeefebill]

It is hard, but I truly continue to believe that the Church is a force for good in spite of the sins of its leaders. I have traveled all over the world working with @CatholicRelief. So many good people. I can tell you stories.

[Lulu NYT @LuluGNavarro]

On too many days recently I’ve felt ashamed to be Catholic.

@AndreaChalupa Inspiring end to latest Gaslit Nation. Thanks for your story about creating “Garth Jones”. Can’t wait to see it.
