Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde, whose appeal to President Trump for mercy on behalf of immigrants and the LGBTQ community made headlines on Tuesday, was also critical of Trump during his first term.

Bishop Budde is the first woman to serve as the spiritual leader of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington.

Trump's right hand man (literally) just casually giving the Nazi salute... twice.

No number of pardons or lies will change what happened on January 6. Donald Trump can’t change history. It was domestic terrorism, it was treason, plain and simple.

Unreal. Gaza is not a property investment after you clean up the deceased. OMG, how is this our reality.
Now that Trump is in office he's immediately pivoted from "the President is responsible for anything bad that happens in the world" to "Me? That's not my problem."
REPORTER: How confident are you that you can keep the ceasefire in Gaza?

TRUMP: I'm not confident. That's not our war. It's their war ... Gaza is interesting. It's a phenomenal location.

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually.

Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda.

Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

Today, more than ever, we reflect on an incredible leader’s insight and wisdom while half the country just handed the keys to a conman (again). Doing right is always better than bullying till you get what you want with no remorse or empathy.

This is performative BS and absolute stupidity - a tactical and hypocritical plan from DT to try and look like he’s “saving TikTok” so creators owe him. So obvious and ridiculous. Narcissistic playbook 101.
Breaking News: TikTok said it was in the process of restoring service to U.S. users after President-elect Trump — who once backed a ban of the app — said that he would issue an executive order to stall the federal ban.
TikTok Starts Working Again After Trump Says He Will Stall a Ban
Some users saw the social media app come back online on Sunday, following a shutdown when a federal law went into effect requiring a sale or ban.
