@Cernovich TF we didn’t! You don’t speak for all Americans and you certainly can’t be convincing yourself that Trump falls in line with Catholicism

BREAKING: In an unbelievable moment, Trump says that undocumented workers are born to work in the fields, "These people do it naturally. Naturally ... they don't get a bad back, because if they get a bad back, they die."

He says the racist part out loud.

@OccupyDemocrats It’s about time. Many have left because you’ve stayed silent while your congregation crowded churches without masks and blame the poor from the pulpit (st francis of Assisi Longmont CO, I heard it).

BREAKING: The Catholic Church enrages MAGA world by coming out forcefully against the "big, beautiful bill" as twenty bishops sign an interfaith letter stating that its "passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole."

There is nothing less Christ-like than cutting healthcare and food stamps or the poor....

"First, it provides tens of billions of dollars to the government to undertake a mass deportation campaign which will separate US families, harm US-citizen and immigrant children, and sow chaos in local communities," the letter reads. "It will spur immigration raids across the nation, harming hard-working immigrant families essential to our economy and causing widespread unrest like we recently witnessed in Los Angeles."

The legislation would funnel over $150 billion towards Trump's border policies and immigration crackdowns, with the ICE budget alone ballooning from $3.4 billion to $45 billion until the end of 2029. It amounts to a 365% increase which Professor Donald Moynihan of the University of Michigan has pointed out is more than the combined funding for all 50 federal prisons.

In addition to being a gross waste of taxpayer money, this funding will create a self-perpetrating deportation industrial machine just like our private prison system and military complex. Just like pouring money into military contractors incentivizes new wars, pouring money into this fledgling deportation industry will incentivize more crackdowns and family separations. The more you feed the monster, the bigger and hungrier it gets.

"This funding also will be used to target faith communities, as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has removed places of worship from its sensitive locations list, allowing ICE agents to enter them for enforcement purposes," the letter continues. "We have already witnessed a reduction in attendance at many of our religious services in our denominations, as the threat of enforcement has deterred many families from practicing their faith."

The signatories include numerous prominent bishops such as Cardinal Robert McElroy, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, Bishop John Dolan, Archbishop Paul Etienne, Archbishop Mitchell Rozanski, and Bishop Jaime Soto.

In addition to the Catholic leaders, the letter was signed by the leaders of the Sisters of Mercy of the Americas as well as respected faith leaders of the Episcopalian, Jewish, Lutheran, Presbyterian, and Muslim communities.

"Moreover, the bill provides funding for a border wall along the US-Mexico border which we believe will drive migrants into the most remote regions of the border and lead to an increase in migrant deaths," the letter goes on. "It also would hurt the local environment along the border and force desperate asylum-seekers seeking safety to increasingly rely on human smugglers."

"As you should know, our faith organizations have long favored the creation of legal avenues for migration and a legalization program for immigrants who have lived in the US for years and contributed their hard work to our economy," the signatories wrote. "We believe the adoption of these policies, instead of the implementation of a mass deportation campaign, would not only benefit immigrant workers and their families, but be in the best interest of our nation."

"Second, the legislation makes severe cuts in health-care coverage and food assistance to millions of both low-income citizens and legal residents, including asylum-seekers and refugees, driving them deeper into poverty," the letter adds. "According to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO), the bill transfers wealth from those in the bottom 10 percent of income to those in the top 10 percent of income in our nation, increasing the already large gap between the rich and the poor."

The bill will slash nearly $1 trillion in funding from Medicaid, a move that will directly result in the death and suffering of countless Americans. People will go blind, see their life expectancies cut in half, and end up bankrupt and homeless. Nursing homes and hospitals will shut down.

It also guts funding for crucial food programs like SNAP by roughly $186 billion by 2034. Americans are literally going to starve to death so that billionaires can afford a few new yachts.

"From our various faith perspectives, the moral test of a nation is how it treats those most in need of support. In our view, this legislation will harm the poor and vulnerable in our nation, to the detriment of the common good. Its passage would be a moral failure for American society as a whole," it concludes.

In a separate statement, Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said that the bill "takes from the poor to give to the wealthy."

"It provides tax breaks for some while undermining the social safety net for others through major cuts to nutrition assistance and Medicaid," he continued. "It fails to protect families and children by promoting an enforcement-only approach to immigration and eroding access to legal protections. It harms God’s creation and future generations through cuts to clean energy incentives and environmental programs."

"I underscore what my brother bishops said in their recent letter to find a better way forward and urge Senators to think and act with courage and creativity to protect human dignity for all, to uphold the common good, and to change provisions that undermine these fundamental values," he added.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank these bishops for speaking out!

BREAKING: Mike Pence snaps at CNN host Dana Bash in front of millions of live viewers after she confronts him for declaring that Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted for inciting the January 6 insurrection even though Trumpers chanted “hang Mike Pence!”

It all started when Pence began to make the case that Trump shouldn’t be prosecuted. At this point, Bash cut him off, telling Pence, “That is pretty remarkable that you're not concerned about it, given the fact that they wanted to hang you on January 6.”

A visibly flustered Pence snapped at her, saying, “Well, Dana, now wait a minute! I want to say there has been an effort to take those that perpetrated violence on January 6 and use a broad brush to describe everyone in our movement."

"No, I didn't mean to do that," the CNN host protested.

Then, Pence pulled out all the stops to defend his extremist Republican Party and its unhinged supporters, declaring that “The people in our movement, the people who rallied behind our cause in 2016 and 2020 are the most god-fearing, law-abiding and patriotic people in this country and I just -- I won't stand for this kind of generalizations and they have no basis in fact.”

Sorry, Pence… but it is a FACT that the vast majority of Republicans STILL believe Trump’s Big Lie and support and defend the dangerous insurrectionists who brought gallows to the Capitol and stormed the building while chanting “hang Mike Pence.”

It’s truly pathetic to see him continue to whitewash the events of that deplorable day — and defend a party that defends dangerous insurrectionists to this very day.

Please retweet and ❤️ to thank Dana Bash for calling Pence out to his face — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new Twitter competitor that is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribel app: https://t.co/HnJzSKj4Hp

THIS IS AWESOME!

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: Actor Michael Imperioli says he's "decided to forbid bigots and homophobes" from watching his work following Supreme Court ruling.

“I’ve decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas or any movie or tv show I’ve been in,” Imperioli said in the caption of a post on his Instagram page Saturday, adding “Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA! USA!” He wrote.

The actor, best known for his roles in the Emmy-winning HBO dramas “The Sopranos” and Season 2 of “The White Lotus,” posted a screenshot of a news report with a headline that read, “Supreme Court protects web designer who won’t do gay wedding websites.”

In the comments section, Imperioli continued to express his fury with the ruling by saying, “hate and ignorance is not a legitimate point of view.”
“America is becoming dumber by the minute,” he said in another comment.

Smash the 💙 if you appreciate Michael Imperioli for STANDING UP for Human Rights! 🏳️‍🌈

🚨🚨🚨Holy shit: An Iowa mom stood up to testify at the Iowa Capitol and delivered an AMAZING speech slamming Republicans’ six-week abortion ban as “stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”

Felicia Hilton of Des Moines boldly confronted the Iowa State House and held nothing back:

Here is what Felicia Hilton directed at Republican Governor Kim Richards:👇

(Ending abortion is about religion?) Where are all these church people when (Governor Kim Reynolds denies) people healthcare? Where are they then?"

Hilton continued. "I'm just saying, if this is about the church, that this is about God, you are the same people that will slap them loaves of breads outta Jesus' hand. Slap out the fish outta Jesus' hand and tell them to get in line and figure out if they're worthy or eligible.

Are they eligible for this food, Jesus? Are they eligible for healing, Jesus? Are these people good enough? Is that what you're telling me in the state of Iowa, that you get to choose who this is?”

This is absolutely an offense to women. This is an offense to everybody, and it is offensive that you're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church. You're gonna go celebrate the oppression of women at a church, but the church wasn't there when she's going to cut the food assistance from the federal government to people.“

🔥🔥🔥

The session's leader tried to cut Hilton off, but she was not having it. 👇

"Ma'am, it's been over three minutes," the man said.

"It doesn't matter. This is a lie. You guys are lying to yourselves and you're offending everyone, including God," Hilton fired back.

This state is ridiculous. The stupid, stupid, ridiculous self-righteous crap.”

🔥🔥🔥

Thank you to this BRAVE mom for speaking out!
