Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

The House did the right thing by extending ACA subsidies and stopping health care costs from exploding for 20 million Americans. The Senate must pass it next.
Short-term relief matters — but long term, we must fix our broken health care system and move toward Medicare for All.

Breaking news: More than a dozen House Republicans joined every Democrat to pass a bill extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies for three years — the sharpest GOP break with party leadership yet.
House passes bill extending health care subsidies, bucking GOP leaders
Prospects for passage in the Senate are unclear. The enhanced subsidies expired at the end of 2025, driving costs up for millions.

One of my goals in the remaining years of my career as a columnist is to be around when soulless sacks like this beg forgiveness and cry crocodile tears seeking redemption. I want to be there to tell them: No. Sit in your space on the wrong side of history and live with the cruel choices you made.
Rep. Randy Fine: "If you impede the actions of our law enforcement as they seek to repel foreign invaders from our country, you get what's coming to you. I do not feel bad for the woman that was involved."

Tell them thank you for killing you.
JD Vance: "It was a legitimate law enforcement operation. We were going door to door to try to find criminal illegal aliens and deport them from the United States ... say a prayer for that agent ... he deserves a debt of gratitude."

They are going to Epstein Files a murder
The state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says they've been informed by the FBI that US DOJ has said FBI will solely lead the investigation into Renee Nicole Good's killing by a federal officer. State investigators no longer have access to "case materials, scene evidence/investigative interviews"

This person blocked me when I told him to fuck off. Look, we know how fucked up our country is. Many of us HAVE been fighting this all of our lives. The Democrats have failed us. You can’t cede any ground to racism. You don’t sacrifice ANYONE. Some have taken longer to realize this than others.
