Cardinal Timothy Dolan failed to report direct admissions of rape by multiple priests, lobbied against extending the statute of limitations for sex abuse, and moved money off the church books to hide it from victims of sex abuse. In case you were wondering.
Cardinal Timothy Dolan on Fox & Friends on Charlie Kirk: "This guy is a modern day St Paul. He was a missionary, he's an evangelist, he's a hero. He's one I think that knows what Jesus meant when he said 'the truth will set you free.'"

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.
Trump to a female reporter who tries to ask him about his plans for Memphis: "Quiet. You're really obnoxious ... I'm not gonna talk to you until I call on you."

A third military strike has been indiscriminately carried out on a Venezuelan boat, Trump announced. Military lawyers have warned that soldiers who conducted the attacks could be held personally liable for the killings.

Politically active owner of Minocqua Brewing Company in WI was thrown in jail over the weekend because he pissed off a right-winger in town with a direct line to the police. His story is hair-raising in its implications for every single one of us daring to speak up.

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.

ICE stripped a German green card holder naked, drove him from Boston to Vermont to Rhode Island, put him in a cold shower, deprived him of medication, sleep and food until he collapsed.

No one knows why he was detained.
Green card holder from New Hampshire 'interrogated' at Logan Airport, detained
Fabian Schmidt’s family said they are unsure of why he is being held. They said he has a recently renewed green card, and no active issues in court.

Yo @durbin.senate.gov, no one is picking up your Senate phone and you don’t even have a voicemail. Vote no on cloture and the spending bill or I will do whatever it takes to make sure the next Senator from Illinois has basic constituent services set up during business hours.

I have a bad feeling about this Saudi trip. I fear for Zelenskyy's safety.

And I think they're going to bushwick him again.

We really need to be diligent when watching and reading with extreme scrutiny.

Call me paranoid but my intuition says something is wrong...

Biden failed by pretending #Covid was over. Biden didn't do ring vaccination for H5N1, he didn't invest funds in testing, & he didn't mandate disposal of dead animals. No public health campaign, no #CleanAir mandate or #masks. Biden dropped the ball & Trump won't be picking it up.

I always mask!
I appreciate this response from Ed Yong on why he requests that people mask at his events. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/m...

President Zelenskyy tears down Trump's lies; states that Trump lives in a Russian Disinformation bubble:

"The U.S. has provided Ukraine with $67 billion in military aid and $31 billion in budget support. .... Trump’s $500 billion fossil fuel claim isn’t a serious conversation." #StandWithUkraine 📹🧵
