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.

Hurrah for Ukraine!

BREAKING

President Zelensky rejects the Trump regime's ultimatum regarding the ceding of Crimea to the Russian Federation.

"There is nothing to discuss—this lies outside our Constitution. This is our territory, the land of the Ukrainian people. This will NOT happen."

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires?

Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

To all those who say Trump has “single-handedly” wrecked the economy: He didn’t do it single-handedly. Congress could’ve stopped him anytime. The Republican-led Congress allowed him to wreck the economy.

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.

See how this works?

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.

Cut the BS—it’s the guns.

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.

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.

Later, the coffee gets cold.

Later, people grow old.

Later, life goes by.

Later, you regret not doing something... when you had the chance.

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.

I think the damage Bill Clinton did with his "triangulation" cannot be overstated; repealing Glass-Steagal and signing the Commodity Futures Modernization Act into law led directly to the 2008-09 financial crisis.

When the country desperately needed a (genuine) Democrat president to stand up to the excesses of the Republican Party, there was none to be found.

NEVER FORGET that BILL CLINTON, HILLARY CLINTON and CHELSEA CLINTON are all MEMBERS of the most pernicious and insidious so-called "Non-Governmental Organization" - that de facto DOMINATES and CONTROLS U.S. Foreign AND Domestic policy - that being the

"COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS".
