So the Republican Party has historically blocked:
-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health
And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?
I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.
She has been on a govt salary for years.

Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

Hey MAGA Christians, school shootings have nothing to do with a lack of prayer in public schools.
I’ve studied the Bible extensively and served as a pastor for nearly three decades.
Trust me: there is no prayer that will suddenly make children bulletproof.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid.
But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.
Courage is contagious.

Go Canada! Now you are the leader of the free world.
There’s a term in psychology called habituation: the way we stop noticing things we see often. A painting on the wall. A familiar view. Even a person’s kindness.
The brain filters the predictable to save energy. But in doing so, it risks filtering out what makes life feel full.
Not everything that becomes familiar should be forgotten.
Sometimes, attention is an act of love.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

Hear directly from the White House about how they plan to garnish your wages if you have student loans in default. President Trump noticeably softens his tone on China and tariffs.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.
I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.
I want to be soft. I want to be steady.
There is something intriguing about lying and why people do it. Most times it is done strategically, to cover up an embarrassing or damaging experience. Occasionally it is done to protect someone else who is vulnerable (the "little white lie"). But then there are the serial lies, told by people who are so used to doing it that they don't hear themselves doing it anymore and think nothing at all of doing so. Normal people feel remorse or anxiety inside about it, knowing that it is wrong and pote…
"Yet again technology and social media are more of a curse than a blessing."
I agree. It saddens me to think that people (some in my family) might actually believe others have the slightest interest in seeing their constant self-serving and self- promoting posts. Look at me! Look at my car, my boat, where I vacation, who I saw, how beautiful I am, my perfect marriage, and on and on. Good for them. I'm happy for their success. It isn't envy on my part. I have a good life. I just don't understand the bragging. It was once considered ill mannered to brag on one's self. Social media sites are nothing more than venues to endlessly boast. I don't read the posts anymore, but based on what I've seen, it's a huge waste of time. Theirs and mine.
Modesty appears to be for suckers in this not so brave new world.
Trump is losing every battle:
❌ trying to pin Harvard on a low level guy as colleges stand up to him
❌ throwing in the towel on Ukraine – Russia after saying he would fix it day one
❌ zero to a show for his trade war negotiations other than putting the US into a recession
❌ Supreme Court going against him on deportations to El Salvador
❌ truth coming out about Abrego Garcia having zero criminal record 
❌ net approval falling by 15 points since he took office. Underwater on every issue but immigrat…
NEW: the Supreme Court blocked the Trump regime from deporting more Venezuelans from Texas to El Salvador for now. Just Alito and Thomas dissented.
The Abrego-Garcia case is a perfect litmus test for whether a person understands and is truly committed to the rule of law. If you can’t admit the plain error here, you are captured and, through either tribal loyalty or blind trust, are losing touch with an important part of what America is.
