"A thread on national emergencies and our Constitution:
Congress makes laws.
The president executes laws.
The Supreme Court decides cases.
This is our constitutional system.
Congress cannot delegate legislative powers to the president by statute."
The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.
Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
Pope Francis told a group of Italian parents of #LGBTQ children:
“God loves your children as they are. The Church loves your children as they are, because they are children of God.”
#LGBTQIA 🏳️🌈 Equality
In an era that looked as if it might be defined by an American man of depraved cruelty, corruption, and shame, what a magnificent thing the Catholic Church has done. The elevation of an American man of goodness, grace, humility, mercy, and faith to the Throne of St. Peter is moving and momentous for us all.

CHECK MATE! 🧵
🚨 BREAKING: After torpedoing yesterday’s meeting with Zelensky, JD Vance fled to Vermont for vacation—only to be met by hundreds of furious protesters.
Couldn’t have happened to a better guy!
BREAKING: The Trump administration is moving to fire FBI agents involved in investigations into President Donald Trump, AP sources say. https://t.co/3VWjw5lx2w
This is truly like a real life bad episode of the Apprentice, but honestly, He is the first one who should be fired. It is clear that he has no idea of how to do the job of President, competently.
I expect that his entire tenure will go something like this, when things go bad… Biden, Biden, Biden, Obama, Biden, DEI, DEI, DEI, trans, immigrant, repeat.
Why is it cold outside? See above 👆🏾
Why are eggs so expensive? See above 👆🏾
Why hasn’t Mexico built the wall? See above 👆🏾
Why is there a recession? See above 👆🏾
Why doesn’t the Medicaid website work? See above 👆🏾
To recap, Trump:
-Forced out the FAA chief at Musk's insistence
-Imposed a hiring freeze that reportedly included air traffic controllers
-Fired the TSA head and gutted a key aviation safety committee
-Blamed the DCA crash on DEI
This is disastrous leadership.
Donald Trump says there are "30,000 beds in Guantanamo" and will sign an executive order to use it as a migrant detention center.
At its peak, the Guantanamo Bay Detention Camp was designed to hold up to 780 detainees.
Clown. Show.
During his press conference Trump blames Biden for the plane crash and accuses him of lowering aviation standards.
Just last week, Trump fired the heads of TSA and the Coast Guard, disbanded the Aviation Security Committee and froze TSA hiring.
Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.
Remember.
