As I have said from the start of the Abrego Garcia case, Trump, Bondi and their cronies love to spew stuff on social media — but they need to put up or shut up in court.
As you can see below, when they are under penalty of perjury, the courts find their claims “fanciful”⬇️

Judge Crenshaw on the allegations of MS-13 membership:
"[F]or the court to find that Abrego is a member of or in affiliation with MS-13, it would have to make so many inferences from the Government's proffered evidence in its favor that such conclusion would border on fanciful."

It’s been obvious from the start that Hegseth compromised sensitive information in that Signal chat. Now we know he was sharing CLASSIFIED material — and lied through his teeth about it.
He put American soldiers at risk. He should be fired.

Hegseth Signal messages came from email classified ‘SECRET,’ watchdog told
The revelation contradicts the Trump administration’s long-standing claims that no classified information was shared by the defense secretary’s account during the “Signalgate” scandal.

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

July 24 Scripture
Mount Sinai became ground zero of God's encounter with the people (Ex 19:1-20), marked by the Covenant, the Commandments, and an awesome presence. But the Eucharist far supersedes this encounter. Christ is forever present at every Eucharist, the Tabernacle, the hungry and thirsty.
