one of the great under covered stories of the Trump 2 Administration is that Trump and the Catholic Church are as openly at war with each other as I've seen the Church be over and issue that wasn't abortion in my lifetime, its reached abortion levels
New York's new archbishop: “The Catholic Church isn’t a country club. A club exists to serve its members. The Church exists to go out and serve all people. We exist to follow Jesus who fed the hungry, healed the sick, rejected hatred, and proclaimed love.”

The op-ed by Epstein and Raskin in yesterday’s WAPO was a graceless, tendentious and condescending critique of Billie Eilish’s statement at the Grammys that “no one is illegal on stolen land.” It was a bad faith effort to dismiss an important argument.

I both have no reason to believe Douthat and the emails and texts he chose to share have like Chernobyl bad vibes radiation
👀 Apparently, Ross Douthat invited Seth Harp to debate him on Douthat's "Interesting Times" NYT podcast. Harp says that the episode was recorded, Douthat got crushed, and RD/NYT decided not to publish it.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.
Fucking surreal that people dressed like this and carrying assault rifles are permitted to kidnap people off our streets

in which Mike Johnson attempts to scripture-splain to the [checks notes] Pope
Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?

MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

To me it is tragic that, just because of several hundred disgusting email exchanges with an international sex criminal, CBS viewers will be denied some of the most outrageously specious "wellness" advice imaginable. How are people going to find out about the chalk supplements he sells now?

this quotation comes to a satisfying conclusion
NEW from @justinrohrlich.bsky.social:

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”

"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

John Randle was undrafted. He was underweight and duped the Vikings into signing him by hiding a chain in his shorts at his weigh-in. He was terrifying. He’d paint his face. If you said something about his mother, he’d promise to burn your house down. Then he’d make you believe it.
Pro Football Hall of Famer John Randle posted a statement about ICE as text overlays on various portraits of himself and I kind of love it
