I got done reading the Onion and the Hard Times this morning and jumped over to the Wall Street Journal and scrolled halfway down the homepage before I remembered that I wasn't looking at satire anymore and such is the nature of the world we now inhabit.

BREAKING: At Pope Leo XIV’s urging, U.S. Catholic bishops just delivered the strongest rebuke of a sitting president in Church history — condemning Trump-Vance raids as “inhumane” and “dehumanizing” in a 216–5 vote.
NEW: At Pope Leo’s Urging, Bishops Issue Historic Rebuke of Trump’s Raids
Nearly all U.S. Catholic bishops united in Baltimore to denounce the Trump administration’s “inhumane” deportation campaign — a near-unanimous, unprecedented moral stand against a sitting president.

We are 10 months into Trump’s presidency and Republican control of Washington.

The only major thing they’ve accomplished is Trump’s “big beautiful bill,” which kicks 10 million Americans off their health care, strips food assistance from millions more, and hands $1T in tax cuts to the top 1%.

American citizens are being detained by Trump's masked ICE agents.

They are terrorizing American communities.

Our immigration policies should improve American lives. Arresting Americans and tormenting our communities is the complete opposite of that.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Only 21% of S.C. businesses with fewer than 50 employees can afford to provide health insurance for their employees.

These employees rely on HealthCare.gov to get coverage.

If Republicans allow premiums to skyrocket, small businesses and their employees will get hit.

Sen. Shaheen: I had a meeting with some constituents last Friday. One was a small business owner who had cancer. He said, 'If I didn't have that insurance through the ACA, I would not have gotten my cancer treated, and I would be dead by now.' That's what this fight is about.
